I am trying to make a list and finding "average" price so I can get some money out of my cd to pay for the rest of the things I need for my studio. What are your must haves that you would suggest I add to my list?

so far I have
-my camera
-pod
-umbrella lights(which one of them needs to be fixed)
- and just some material for backgrounds

what I have on my list to get
-background stand with white and black background
-speedlight (hopefully 580ex11)
-accesories for the speedlight (bounce and what not)
-a matt to go under the background

and then just some props

is there anything that I need? I'm having a brain fart :confused:

It's a 50 1.8 the only thing I have a problem with it is I feel like I'm always UP in everyones face! it's just so close and I have to move so far back just to get a whole head in the picture. I'm ok with it though... I just have to be somewhere where I can scoot back.

1. A decent lens that can go wider (Tamron 17-50 F2.8 or 28-75 maybe). Or a 17-55
2. Backup camera.
3. Enough strobes.
