What do you have for lighting equipment?

Just making conversation this morning. No reason for the question other than I just go though spending some time looking at lighting equipment and :drool: :drool:

Man there is some nice stuff out there, funny thing that I was thinking is most think that lenses and camera bodies can be the pricier items in a camera bag. Spend enough time looking at quality lighting equipment and you will change your mind very quickly about that assumption.

I use a couple of flashes and I have some hardware store lights with CF bulbs that I sometimes use.

Mainly use Nikon Speedlights. SB900 & SB800 in off-camera mode. When in bright sunlight, I use up to 3 flashes to over power the sun.





The Lastolite lighting kit is portable and easy to set up with the SB900.

The best bang for the buck was buying a light stand and shoot through umbrella, along with the 9' cable to connect my camera to the SB600 flash. I use it on almost every job. I also use a simple reflector quite a bit.

Normally I use Minolta 360PX Auto Electroflash mounted on Minolta Powergrip2, but in these pics I used natural sunlight in my foyer.
