For those of you who shoot in a studio setup. What kind of lighting do you think is best? I've bought some paper backdrops in grey, black, and white, and I don't know if I want to buy a couple of monolights with umbrellas, or if I want to buy a speedlight and try to make that work. I guess the problem is I would like to have both, but I can't. Do you think I could get by, with just a speedlight? I would probably get the 430 EX. I've never used either type of lighting, so I really don't know what to start with. I just feel like the speedlight would be more versitile. I see shots where some of you bounce the flash off a wall, or ceiling, and they look really good. It really makes me want a speelight. For those of you who have a speedlight... How much do you use it, and how much has it changed your photography? I never use the built in flash, unless it is absolutely neccesary, because I don't like the way it makes the picture look. How much better is the speedlight? Any advice you have is much appreciated! Thanks for your help.
