for around $100 for portraits? what should I look for? what type of lights should I not get? am I wasting my time on continuous lights... my cam wont do slave .. d40... thanks....
I wouldn't wast my time on continuous lighting. Many are way hot, hence the name hot lights. You can fry your subjects. Plus they typically aren't bright enough to maintain a reasonable shutter speed.
If you want or need additional light save up for strobes.

I have a d40 and a sb400.. I think the only way I could do a multi flash setup would be w/ a dummy flash or maybe something like alien bees?
