Firstly, the Photography Expo 2011 this coming weekend at the Javits Centre in NY. Check out 2011 Photo Expo. Its free to register for basic access and is going on at the Javits centre. All the latest and greatest photo stuff will be shown and lots of goodies to be had!
Lighting: continuious and flash (strobe)
I came across this great site for Lighting. Actually, its for purchasing lighting at a very reasonable price and they also have a great blog which is worth a read on tips and tricks of lighting. See here for some tips on strobe lighting, which are very useful. They also have monthly specials. They also specialize in LED lighting, which is very cool and kewl!
Sometimes, the use of an additional light (now this may be a clip-on or a portable flash head or an LED light) can really make the different between a good image and a great image.
Also, I've been trolling the web for some good lighting videos for you to see: from the simple to the more complicated. Do not shy away from viewing these videos, as they will give you an enormous amount of information from which to learn some skills.
