I'm going to be shooting some photos in pitch darkness at a campsite -- we had a friend shoot them last year, but he's a professional photographer and brought expensive strobes and lighting gear. This year, that person and their gear won't be available, so I'm taking over the job. I need to assemble a reasonable lighting setup for as cheap as possible, and I don't really know much about this stuff.
I was thinking about buying:
- 2 x 85W CFL bulbs
- these umbrella holders
- some cheap umbrellas (I can't post more than 2 links...)
Do you think that'll be enough light to take a reasonable photograph of ~3 people at a time? Anything else that you'd recommend?
Thank you, and sorry for the newbie question!
