I am willing to spend some money on to it. My Budget at the moment is about $50-$100.
Any suggestions are welcome for the type of light. I do have a sturdy tripod & good 10x10 space in the garage.
Thanks once again everyone. |
For that amount you will only be able to get some lights from the hardware store (make sure you know the white balance of the lights). With this you can do some simple setups with two or three lights. I would make sure that you also get something that can be used as a reflector (foam board from a craft store works well) and some material that you can diffuse the light.
I would also suggest getting away from only doing shots that require lights (artificial) and either using natural light both indoors and outdoors. Stock photography is so much more than just taking shots of objects.
Get outside with some friends, family etc who you can use as models to do personal and family related shots. Do some nature work, landscapes if they are available, some street scenes and so on. |
