No, I kinda dove in head first without being sure if I could swim on this one! Thank God I found you guys. I actually bought the lighting kit by mistake thinking I was buying a strobe kit. But yes, I am learning as I go on this one in a bid to better recession proof my full-time job with some sidework. I do have some photography experience but its been 12 years and it was large format mamiyas.

Ok I got the Pentax K-x, the basic 18-50 mm lens and bought a sigma 50-200mm lens. I bought a lighting kit that includes two black umbrellas and two twin head 90 watt (I think) fluorescent light stands. I bought a strobe flash kit which consists of two strobe slaved non-adjustable flashes with white flash-through umbrellas. I bought a got shoe adapter and have it wired to one of my strobe lights. Had subject app. 3 feet from backdrop last night and camera 12 feet from subject. Put the K-x in auto mode and with settings at factory default images were way to flooded with light. Turned ISO down to 200 and images were much closer but still too bright. Any suggestions? Thanks.
