Thanks much for the advice. So basically 2 strobes with the brolly umbrella setups would be ok to start? You shoot using a sync cable. Anything against wireless?

Brings up another question. Who shoots 'tethered' to their laptop in live mode? Advantages/Disadvantages (other than the obvious cord to trip on) ?

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.
