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 |
