What lighting can I get away with for an in home photography studio?
Erica asked:
I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures and I’m pretty good at it. I was thinking of setting up a room in my home as a little studio. I don’t want to go w/ anything expensive right now but I’d like to know about what lighting I can get to take professional looking pictures. Do I HAVE to get these particular lighting at a photography store or can I use something else. What type of bulbs would be good to use? Thanks!

How do you organize your lighting gel collection?
Ross M asked:
I have recently purchased a large quantity of lighting gels for film and stage productions and am wondering how most people end up organizing them to keep them from scratching and deteriorating quickly. These are standard 21″ by 24″. Currently, the gels came in a large metal box of the same dimensions, but I fear they may deteriorate quicker and this, of course, is very cumbersome when searching through to find particular colors, as 300+ gels stacked on top of each other gets quite heavy.
