About light systems.

[dreamer]

I was wondering what type of light system i should be using. I will be using a Canon Eos 300D. I need to keep the cost as low as possible and have maxium control.

To problem is that I will be taking pictures of very small objects and very large items. ranging from cms to 1 -2 meters.

Now take in mind that i will be only using a background, no tent or still life table.

I was thinking of the Hyundae Photonics HL-1000, its got diming ranging from 0watt to 100 watt.

I need to toally get rid of shawdows (most of it anyway) so how many lights would i need? Or would one be quite strong enough?

OR i would much prefer a weaker light, around 500Watt (with diming) using 2 of them. Does anyone know a brand having these features?

thanks.
