Ordered my Alien Bees

[Miss Kelly]

Your going to do great Jen. You will be amazed at how little post processing work you'll have to do after getting your Bees.

Yeah i've been there. It confused the heck out of me. Not saying alot for myself is it?

Yup. I agree with this completely.

I look at it this way. My DD will be in school another 9 years (plus hopefully college). School pics for those 9 years will probably only run me about $500 even if there is a 10% price hike each year, which there generally isn't. I could spend $1000 EASILY on a lighting setup. Since my DD would most likely be the only one I could drag in front of the camera, that would not be worth it to me. However, if I decide that I like to do portraits at some time and there is the possibility of someone paying me to do them, well, I may just change my mind on the cost effectiveness.

At this point though, I am just happy for DVC Jen as I know that she has wanted this type of setup for some time now. I can't wait to see how well they work for you Jen! Here's hoping that it is an easy learning curve for you!

Well now...there's your first mistake. You're trying to rationalize buying additional equipment!!! I never do that!

And I agree with MissKelly - the shots I've taken with my AB's have needed minimum PP work. Should have got these things months ago!

That is nice to know.
