OK, I usually shoot weddings and outdoor portraits. My goal is to start indoor studio style portraits.
So let me get into my lighting equipment...
Canon 580EXII Speedlites x 2
Calumet Travelite 750
Calumet Travelite 375
PocketWizard TT5Flex x2
PocketWizard TT1Mini
Dynaphos 500 watt light with 24" x 18" softbox
2 really nice umbrella reflectors, 3 fairly cheap umbrella reflectors, 5 in 1 light reflector 24" x 36".
I also have a set of 250 watt Novatron lights (2 lights) that I have been trying to sell since June 2014 but no one is showing any interest in them at all. I honestly don't know if they will work with my Pocketwidzards.
I am making decisions as I type and will eventually try them out with my PocketWizards. They do have a wired trigger system that I plug directly into the camera.
I've used all of these lights but not together. Would it be overkill if I tried using all of these lights to light my subject? Or maybe use them differently.
I am thinking of a few possible scenarios here...
Scenario I: Using the Novatrons to light up the backdrop, The Calumets would be used to light my subject. Softbox light as a hair light. (probably without the softbox)
Scenario II: Calumets still lighting the subject and using the 580 EX II's to light the backdrop and again, Softbox light as a hair light.
Scenario III: I am actually trying to figure out if combining the power of ALL of these lights somehow would work or would they overpower the room with lights?
I know I need more triggers but I am seriously considering purchasing the YongNuo YN-622C/YN-622C-TX Controller Triggers to do the job a little cheaper or should I just look for 2 or 3 more PocketWizard TT5Flex triggers?
My question is, what would you do, what would you use and how would you use them? I am also planning on adding another Calumet 750 to my arsenal becayse it really is a slick little light and it works perfectly with my triggers.
