I am confused about setting up a small home studio portrait lighting
setup.
For example I see these startup kits in the $100-$300 range in magazines
and it doesn't say
what you need to power them, (batteries or ac) or wether you get some sort
of a power pack.
I'm thinking about an umbrella with a slave but don't know if this would
be the way to go.
Any help would be apreiciated!
Thanks John

A starting point would be a good quality strobe - I use a Vivitar 283
(talk about ubiquitous!) with an umbrella and a reflector. After
experimenting with this combination, you can move into more elaborate
and expensive combinations.
