I'm finally getting a decent camera for taking photo's. A Olympus evolt e300. Had to settle for point and shoots before, didn't have the funds necessary for a new SLR. This is my first post to the photo forums, hopefully not my last. and i am in the process of setting up a indoor studio. and I searched the web over, and there is very little useful info about what to use. So, what do you use in your studio, lighting wise? What kind of lights? How many lights, backdrops, etc. I have a 24' x 24' building I am gonna convert. I don't plan to sink a lot of money into this at once, it's only gonna be used occasionally, but would like to have a basic indoor studio if I need it. Baisc backdrop, basic lights, and what not. I've not found very much do it yourself info, but a lot of "kits" for more than I have to spend on it right now. and yes, I know the kits would probably work better, and you get what you pay for, but for now, I want to do it on the cheap.
