IMO $20 is too low. I started at $50 for that sort of thing, for what it's worth.

If you don't feel cheated at $20 however, go for it. If you can get $50 though... ;)

If someone wants a head shot to be used as online avatar would $20 be way too low? This is for an online contact I know fairly well. Prob hour total setup, shoot and post.

Thanks PK. It is a vendor called Emotion Media...http://emotionmedia.com They are on the same line as Animoto. We are looking into using Animoto for a new venture. Anyone have good or bad experiences to share with either?

Paul - the quadra seems nice but like all Elinchrome stuff seems to be a bit pricey. You may want to look into the Bowens and battery packs - seem to be lot cheaper.

The Quadra is sort of in between. It's 400ws and the heads are just a bit larger than my small flashes. They're battery powered but the pack also pretty compact.

I did a quick search and found a video of Scott Kelby talking about it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7vgJaMqjOk

I love small flashes; use them all the time especially on location. The big ones are indispensible for some things, e.g., the blown out studio piano shot, but they are a major pain to set up and move around. I'm happy to have them but happier to have a place to put them because moving them around to shoot locations was not a pleasant experience.

Yes, I certainly can't complain. :)

Next is some real lights. I still do all my lighting with small flashes, umbrellas, and reflectors. I'm hoping to add Elinchrom's Ranger Quadra and an Octobox to my kit soon. I can't wait.
