That's why I said I workout to look good. If i wanted to be healthy. I'd swim. *..you can NEVER out train a bad diet -- FitExcellence*

trench301 trench301 Post Master Registered: 02/16/03 Posts: 2776	I use a pair of 430exii flashes ($249 each) in Impact softboxes on impact stands (cant remember exact price, but dirt cheap) triggered remotely with Yongnuo 622c triggers (about $40 a piece). Can't get much cheaper than this...

tenplanescrashing tenplanescrashing Unregistered	Depends on what you want to light up. I have 2 yongnuo flash guns ($70/each) that work great for simple lighting. I use the Yongnuo trigger set as well ($40-80). I also have an alienbee B800 that I use for larger setups or when I need more light. I'd recommend getting the B1600 if you ever need to properly overpower any sunlight though. Couple different light stands and umbrellas and that's it.
