I usually have the flash at 90 degrees up bounced back at the subject for more natural looking lighting and softer shadows.

I'd like to pick up a few clip on desk lights for even more lighting control but can manage with my current setup even though it does limit what I'm able to do with lighting more than I'd like.<br /><br />I can basically set up for pictures anywhere but usually just use the dining room table as there's nowhere else that's really big enough or doesn't already have plants on it.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347983770474369842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170863073757416013.post-38860340818166319842010-02-10T19:20:44.235-05:002010-02-10T19:20:44.235-05:00It may be tame but I really love the colour.
