There are only a couple of places in my house I consider "worthy" of
taking a picture of any plants.
As you have noticed (I am sure) mo0st of the pictures of my CC's are on my DR table.
There is a bright chandelier-type light right above it. That is where I took most of these.
BUT--the tone of any color is not all that natural under lights. Oh--it looked good--deep shdes.

My other place is on top of a ladder shoe rack (ex plant stand) next to my bed
by a very bright window. Here I get more natural color and tones of color.

Third id under my task lights--which are 2' long fluorescent bulbs--each like 20W.
This provides a good, soft color to my pictures. Sometimes, just not sharp enough.

For none of these I have to use a flash--but if I do Macro--sometimes, it will flash.

Example of a difference:
1--Here is the "White Christmas taken under my DR light. brings out a bit of the oink blush.
2--Here is a close-up of the same by my bedroom window--natural light. Pink not so obvious.
3--My Salmon CC close-up under the DR lights
4--My salmon CC, whole pot, by my bedroom window.

I like them both--but each shows a different tone.

This is just as a FYI for you all......Gita
