Well it was sorta an impulse buy and something I have wanted for a while. Last night I bought a used Nikon SB-24, Impact mobile background stand, some more flash gels, and an umbrella bracket. I got the SB-24 after reading http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/04...kon-sb-24.html

So now I have a mobile 2 flash umbrella setup It consists of.

Backdrops:
Home made muslin backdrops 5 feet x 12 feet White and very dark navy blue, and a black and whit 10x12 background.



I still either need to find a long pc cable or get another cactus trigger receiver and I will have a 3 flash setup for right now 2 flashes are fine.
