    Good place to buy cheap canvases (of your own photos)

    I'm looking for a cheap place to order canvas prints of some of my photos. Canvases (as I'm sure you guys know) can be really expensive, but I thought some people here might know of some good suppliers/printer that sell them for decent prices. Many thanks!

    Deciding what colour backdrop to get

    Ah, I should have mentioned my lighting gear as well - I am only going to have two flash heads which will both be illuminating the subjects, so I will have no flashes illuminating the background ergo only one colour.

    Thanks again for the further recommendations, there's just a lot to choose from! And expense is another issue, considering I'm a financially struggling medical student! Hmm...

    Choosing between the following studio kits - help

    Yes I will be taking full length shots. Just so I can be clear, the D Lite 2 Kit has two heads each with 200J or w/s of power. The Lastolite Lumen8 SV Lighting Kit has two heads, each with 400J of power. Am I then to assume that the D Lite 200/400 Kit has one head that with 200 and one with...

    Studio lighting help (softboxes/equipment information)

    Thanks everyone for the replies so far, they have been very helpful and I will look into each one of the links in detail over the next week. By studio flash, do you mean continuous lighting or lights that flash, but aren't speedlights? I found one site that splits its umbrella lighting into...
