Portrait of Deyanira . . . lighting??

[gahspidy]

Hello all,
This is one of a few attempts I have made at doing a portrait shot. This model is my friend and is not very comfortable in front of the camera but I feel she pulled it off very well. I have no real lighting equipment as I do not really do these kind of indoor studio type portrait shots. I used a 150 watt reflector lamp and the 420EX flash that I had bounce off a white reflector board from the side. I had a greenish yellow colorcast on most of my shots and fixed them up in PSP8. If anyone could give me some tips on a descent, inexpensive lighting setup that I could uses for occasional portraits would be appreciated

This is pretty nice, as faces that fill the frame usually have an impact on the viewer. The lighting looks pretty good, though a bit flat. I've used tungsten lighting for years...two 500W Omnis into white umbrellas, plus a few reflectors...all under $400. I've always liked the results so never saw the need to change to strobes.
