Thanks
@William, but that would be way too small. The size that I would need for all types of orchids, (hanging, in pots, on mounts) would not be portable.
I should have mentioned that it has to be portable and easy to set up/take down.
I'm really liking the shoot through umbrellas, but that is going to require a flash investment. More research needed there.
Thanks for the link on the lighting-101. I will read it.
