Hi Glenn, others, You may try working with full spectrum daylight lamps. They emit a spectrum very similar to natural sunlight. By using two, or even better three lamps, you will be able to avoid hard cast shadows. In combination with dimmers you may simulate every daylight situation experienced outdoors.Anything starting from 20W will serve your purpose. The color spectrum your camera reproduces will be very close to what the human eye perceives under daylight conditions. I've been achieving acceptable results with a set of four daylight lamps and wouldn't want to miss them: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/Meteoritensammlung.htm
