So, I went to the local camera shop today to look for a real softbox to
use for the family photo shoot I was set to do this evening. Before I
knew it, I was walking out with two fairly nice pneumatic-type light
stands, two Studio Systems SPS920 AC studio strobes
(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/246869-REG/SP_Studio_Systems_SPS920_920_AC_Strobe_Series.html),
two umbrellas (white and black) and a 6' flash sync cable. I went in
expecting to spend about $50-$75 and ended up spending $200. I feel like
I got a pretty damned good deal, though.
It was a display setup, of which the carrying bag had faded on one side
from sitting in direct sun in the storefront window. I really couldn't
afford it, but I felt like I couldn't afford to let the opportunity
pass. Everything seems to be of reasonably good build quality, and the
strobes/modeling lights all checked out before I left the store with them.
Now, if I can just find some good studio space . . . and some extremely
hot models.
I blame Bruce for all of this, of course.
