hellp with IR trigger

I am new in photography so I need lots of your hellp, guys! I am using 400D camera, just have bouht Elichrome Flash ligting - D-Lite2 Twin Softbox Kit (200w/s each) Now, As long as I know, to get better pictures i need to buy Flashmeter? And is it enough to start taking pictures of glamour models or do i have to buy + IR trigger and, PC cable and Pocket wizart or Digital Radio Trigger? Oh my God! I am so confused! Can anyone explane to me what is enough to have for someone who just starting to get at least good pictures?

Take a deep breath. Relax. Now panic!! Ahhh!

You don't NEED a light meter, but it sure does help. You could have your subject (or assistant) hold up a white piece of paper and meter off that. Bring that white piece of paper up to the far right of your histogram without blowing it out (touching the sides). The Photovision Calibration Target is perfect for this.

Set your camera to 1/125 or 1/250 (whichever your flash sync speed is) at an aperture of f/8 or f/11 and adjust either the power on your strobes or the distance from them and the subject. Get ONE light working at a time. If you toss two in immediately you'll tear your hair out for sure.

Lastly, what will you be triggering your strobes with? Do they have an optical trigger? When one strobes (if it were hooked to the camera) will the other 'see' the flash and shoot as well? Good questions for the manual. Shooting tethered works, but sucks. Being wireless and having a light meter are certainly nice tools to have, but necessary? Nah.
