My lighting conditions have radically changed since I got started. What I've discovered is that the lighting in my house, while energy efficient, really stinks.
Upon further investigation, I've found that on dark days (which is nearly all of them for the next few months) and at night, the best light in the house is actually on my stove top. It's going to take some work, and obviously, after I've just cooked something it's not likely to be clean/cool enough for a shooting surface. It's flat, 'cause I have a glass top electric.
I'm also discovering my south wall window is too much on sunny days, especially now that the ground is covered with snow. So I'm experimenting: diffusing the light with the extremely high-tech solution of taping white tissue paper over the window.
And today I've just figured out how to turn off the flash, which pretty much doubles my knowledge of the thing.
