Softbox Soft
I'm looking for affordable soft boxes. I would like to be able to use them outside as well as indoors.?
What comes with softboxes? Does the light come also? I would need a stand/tripod to place the softbox on so should I go with a kit?
I really don't know what do buy! I can't waste money on products that I won't use or won't be versatile.
I don't need large softboxes. I am not doing group shots. I need smaller softboxes for one or two people and for macro work. Also for objects and outdoor use for flowers, ect.
A softbox is a light modifier, only. They attach to either a continuous or strobe light. You can buy softboxes individually in various sizes. There are even softboxes that attach to your flash by Lumiquest and others. A softbox will typically attach to either a strobe or a continuous light using something called a speedring. A stand is typically necessary as well, unless you have some other means of supporting the light. A typical "kit" would consist of a monolight or hotlight, proper size speedring, softbox and stand.

Would These Lights Work?
Hi, I'm thinking of getting these soft-box lights:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5400K-Studio-Softbox-Lighting-Light-Kit-1250w-UK-plug-/110622904413?pt=UK_Photography_StudioEquipment_RL&hash=item19c1a3905d#ht_2801wt_1141
and using them against a white background, for portrait photography, would this be enough to light the background? Has anyone got any tips on where to place them... ect. thanks!
You will probably not be happy with them. They are slightly under powered and you would end up with the lights 3' from the subject to be usable.
At a minimum, I would use two 1000w constants (your lights are about 625w) and a fill flash. I would prefer 2 1000w main, 1to2 250w hair light, a couple of back fill, and a couple of fill flash. You can always control/tone down the light you have, but you can not add what you don't have.
