I've got a Fujifilm FinePix A201, and my lighting setup is real ghetto too.
I almost never use the flash that's on the camera -- it's too damn harsh. Right now I'm shooting in the afternoon, with good daylight coming in from the side, and a 500 watt halogen work light from K-Mart pointed away (reflecting off a mirror that's pointed up at the ceiling) from the action. It bounces a good amount of light off the ceiling back at me/the models, and it isn't too harsh. I've also used white craftstore spongeboard to bounce light off of too.
However, once the holidays get here and my daughter is outta school for damn near two weeks (and don't even remind me about summer
) I'm going to have to figure out a lighting setup for shooting at night, in the bedroom. We've tested out different combos of lights, and it always ends up very red. Anybody got any ideas? I've scoped out some studio lights I can afford on eBay, but I have no clue what would be the best for cutting down on the redness...
