John, as you well know, shoot shoot shoot and oh yeah shoot again and you'll have it down pat!
I know you didn't start out shooting images like you have now!
Lighting indoors is a rough gig. There is soo little flexibility with them...it just takes getting comfortable.
I hated it at first, and now I absolutely LOVE the control I get! No more shoots ruined by weather...if it's raining, we just move inside!
So if I may ask...what did you get...ProPhoto, Broncholor, Norman?

Well, actually, I shot for 12 years with absolutely no progress or success. And then one day everything changed and it has been a combination of magic and luck ever since. I wish I could say it was years of gradual improvement, but honestly, I have no idea how it all happened like it did.
My problem with indoor lighting doesn't seem to be a lack of flexibility. In fact, I'd pinpoint it at precisely the opposite. There are an infinite amount of options and flexibility, none of which I understand. Whereas outdoors, there are practically no options to deal with; I generally keep my camera on the same setting for the entire year of shooting [ISO=125, 1/4000, f/2.8].
My equipment is Paul Buff: Zeus/White Lightning. I got a shload of equipment that all seems way more than I need for an unbelievably low low price. With tax deductions, I save another 40-50%. My list of equipment is enormous. I essentially outfitted my whole studio for the less than the cost of one power pack from the aforementioned lighting equipment supliers!
