My layout is inside a shed, with no windows (they're blocked by the backdrop), and I'd like to take some nice photos. I'm wondering what the best type of lighting would be. Right now the layout is lit by four work lamps - the kind that has a reflective bowl with a clamp and takes a standard light bulb - suspended from the rafters. I use florescent bulbs, the screw in type that save wattage. I know they're probably not what I need. Is incandescent best, and are there particular types that work better than others? Also, would certain filters be helpful? <br />Also, what type of flash works best, and should it be bounced? <br /> <br />Any help would be greatly appreciated! [:D] Thanks.
