It’s been a little over a month since I have made the jump to the rank of entry level DSLR with the recent purchase of Nikon D5000, and I have to say I am very pleased with the result I have been able to achieve with the Nikon D5000 so far.  Some of the photos I have taken with my dollfie daughters outdoor were quite a bit better than what I was able to achieve with my old Sony DSC-F707.  However, indoor photo has remained to be a challenge up to this point.  With the weather turning cold, it has become increasing unlikely that I can take my dollfie daughters outside again this year.  So it was time to finally invest in a continuous light umbrella set.

Updated this post to include the 2nd part of the upgrade where I fine tuned the white balance setting

I didn’t want to spend a lot of money so I was definitely looking for some sort of a bargain so I ended up picking CowboyStudio New Photo Photography Video Studio Umbrella Continuous Lighting Light Kit Set- 2 7ft Stands, 1 Mini Stand and Carry Case from Amazon.com.  The Light Kit came with everything for me to get started:

    * Two(2) professional tripod/light stands, 7 Ft Max height
    * One(1) Professional Tripod/Mini Light stand, Maximum height is 2.2 Ft
    * Three(3) High quality light sockets, Two(2) High quality 33″ Soft umbrellas
    * One(1) High Quality Carry Case
    * Three(3) 45 Watt 5500k daylight balanced photo light bulbs

The kit actually arrived several days ago but one of the daylight bulb was dead on arrival, I contacted the shop Cowboy Studio and asked for a replacement bulb, they sent one to me without asking a second question, good service.  And here we have a couple of photos with different light setup and white balances:
