I've read just about every single post for the last several months, with the exception of the off topic posts. With that said, I am well aware of the budget lighting possibilites, so my question is what will spending more money allow one to do. I know it is not the equipment but the photographer that makes an awsome picture but I also know a pro billiards player can run the table easier with a pool cue than he can with a broom stick. Is there a great advantage in 2400 vs 1200 watts, 250 watt porportional modeling, 8 stop range .1 stop control. My greatest concern with lights is being able to see shadows with the modeling lights. The artistic side of me believes what's not illuminated is just as important as what is illuminated. I'm thinking of the Profoto D4, is it worth the money. Earning back it's price would not be a contributing factor. My car is 20 years old but a guy has to have priorities. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
