Lately, I have really enjoyed using my lighting. That's right, I said it, I got some indoor lighting. I just don't have any good big windows to shoot pictures in my house so I'm always spending countless hours on Photoshop adjusting the lighting on ALL my pictures.
I was walking in the mall and walked past Ritz Camera. In the window, they had a display of 3 lights with 2 umbrellas. You just plug them in and leave them on. So you don't have to time them with your camera or anything and the umbrella's make the light softer. I really like them. They are from Smith Victor and I can't remember if it was $150 or $200 for the set of 3 with the umbrella's.
It has been so great to have them. If I do want to touch up the pictures, I can run a "batch" on photoshop and retouch them all at once because they all have the exact same lighting. I highly recommend them. You can also get a soft box later on or something of that nature if you want to go bigger.

Hooray! That is so awesome that you finally got your lights. One more step to being a world famous photographer!
How do you run a batch?
Obviously I'm reading these backwards. I've played with Actions a little in some classes but haven't practiced with them.
