Lighting for Outdoors and Studio I have a Nikon D100 digital camera, and I love it. I am interested in purchasing some lighting equipment, but have no idea what to look for. Can you please give me some insight? Thank you.

Carol, What kind of photography do you want to do? Do you want to use continuous lights or flash? Do you want portable or studio lights?

I do a lot of outside photos now, but would like to have a small studio for more options. I wouldn't mind having both studio and some portable lights as well. Thank you for your fast response.

Carol, You might consider Norman's, Dyna-Lite, Lumedyne, and Quantum. Lumedyne has the most models. Quantum is a good flash that is controllable outside and you have the ability to pull off the parabolic dish and use it as a bare bulb flash for your outdoor portraits. Quantum has the fast rechargeable batteries and is used in a studio ... it has various flash settings. There are many more. I am an on-location photographer, and I use Sunpak 120 J’s and the Pro 622. I have the big batteries, which allow me to shoot up to 250 exposures before I have to recharge the batteries. Those are the ones I am most familiar with and have used at one time or another. Check out their Web sites to gain more information. Hope this info helps, and good shooting.

Carol, I bought a set of Alien Bees and love them. I've had them for 2 years and have no problems or complaints. They are reasonably priced also. They need a plug but you can buy a portable battery pack. Just something to look at also. Good Luck!
