Rachel got me using those daylight bulbs and so now I can take pics any time of day without the flash switched off. I just have two lamps and a piece of card wrapped in silver foil to reflect the shadow, works a treat!


thanks i tried at daylight but i can ownly have great pictures outsite so not at my collection or pc

Hi Sven, I think what Karen means is by using blue daylight bulbs you CAN take pictures indoors at any time. I have used this method for years, I bought the bulbs cheaply at the local market and you can use any light to make them work, I use a small desk top lamp and a longer flexible lamp and as Karen mentioned, a piece of foil can help with the reflections and shadows.

HI Great info!!


I use only a small spotlight that hangs over top of a painting

and light everything below...

always avoid using a flash..

or take the smurfs outside on a over cast day!! and you get perfect pics!
