Humm. Good idea. I already have one, and am looking for something to used in a store situation for people and pets during Xmas and all. What would you be thinking of, flashes set on tripods with the off camera flash shoe adatptors and a PC cable from the camera to the flashes.(could these be used in a wireless trigger mode at all??) Would you suggest using something like the better bounce card or lumiquest diffusers and adjust exposure for that, or back wards into an umbrella. I hope, in May, to answer these and other light questions, as i have found a night class in a Barrie Ontario CC, to learn portrait and studio lighting. >From what i have heard from someone i sort know who took it last fall, is its pretty layed back, and he'll show you what ever each person is interested in. I think this will be $150 well spent.
