What do you want to light and where do you plan to shoot?

Generic answer: Impact 8' light stand, Impact umbrella bracket, Westcott 43" Collapsible White Umbrella from B&H (external link), and a 24' eTTL cord from FlashZebra (external link) to get you started off camera. Or you can go wireless, manual, and buy Yongnuo RF-602 or RF-603 from Amazon (external link).

In any case, read Lighting 101 at Strobist (external link).
