In Reply to: Digital still photo lighting posted by Scott Cowell on March 04, 2000 at 05:38:46:
: Having trouble lighting still photos of objects. I am using a Sony Mavica FD-81 to shoot pictures of antiques and collectibles. Sunlight works best but isn't available when I need to shoot. I have six-150 Watt halogen floods now but get a sepia tone to the color and they produce too much heat. What artificial "sunlight" can I use without buying mega-buck photo lights? Thanks.
Some other things you might do re your lighting question; get blue photofloods from the local camera store - it will reduce or eliminate the warm tones in your digital shots.
Here's another article on building your own home photo studio
for digital shots

The only thing I would add is to be sure any photo flood lamps
used have porcelain sockets (not plastic) otherwise you run the
risk of meltdown and fire.
