>>6326242My only lighting is 2 desk lamps, both around 40 watts or so. But I also have'em pretty close to the figures, AND I have to monkey around with the settings on my camera to get it "right". And even then sometimes it comes out too dark or too light.
Still, if your camera has settings for it, first thing you probably need to do is set the ISO to as low as it can go (lowest on my camera is 100), and maybe switch it to macro depending on how close you're trying to take a pic from.
