John how on earth do you know all that stuff

Watch this, it might be inspiring. link

Pentax, you know what needs to be done for the video-mode in the K-8, 10,000 frames per second is the target.

It comes from the Strobist site link and they explain a bit on how to do it, so let me see some photos.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your comment.
I've done a simple studio course and now planning to do a portrait course so I know a little bit about lighting, still not enough though. I'm not planning to hire anything since it's purely a hobby and nothing more.

A barn door would be a good idea but what's a light modifier?
I don't know pro-line but a lot of other sutdio flash manufacturers have such a kit and it are those I'm looking at now.

When getting a flash Kit I also need a wireless triggers right, any recommendations on that?

Also I've an option to get very cheap some powerfull lamps that they use on construction sites, are those of any use?
I've worked with continues light with the studio course but you need quite some light and it gets pretty hot in the room

I'm looking to go further into studio photography but I ain't so sure what equipment to get.

There are some really simply, cheap but good kits on the market and they look surely look good enough as a begining.
I also have a AF540 flashgun, I've being playing with the though to get another one (or AF360) instead of real studio flashes.
Those or more versitaile and strong enough for portraits but in the end you've less power for more money compared to studio flash.

What are your thoughts about it for an ameteur.
Would you advice me together a flash gun or studio kit?
And please state the good and bad side of both if you could, that would be really helpfull.

Also what attributes would come in handy?
A soft box looks like a must to have and maybe a umbrella, a snooze and a reflector.

Thank you for rading.

Nice starters kit, let's see us some photos Niklas.

Welcome Stormy, I hope you will enjoy it here.

ah too bad, someone else needs to put some photos up then.

Point to a blank wall at the highest f-number and overexpose the shot, all the dust will show on that photo then.
You might get e abit nervous of all the specks you see then.

Remco do you know how wide the Cokin-P goes.
I think he needs an Z-Pro or an wide angle holder for the 12-24 right?

Yeah a bit, I already hold an early test model but with very old software and the sensor of the K20D so nothing was really usable.

So like Mike I'm curious on how well the K7 preforms.
I'm sure the photos and high iso noise might be a bit better...
If mike isn't allowed to use his card could you ask if you could post somethings instead then?

not being greedy but we just want to see some of his power
