Sure thing, Dave. http://picasaweb.google.com/sdloveless/PDMLPESO/photo#5128301475404787010 The clip light is available at just about any hardware or department store. This either came from Home Depot or Wal-Mart. The bulb in the photo is not the bulb I used, but looks a lot like it. The bulbs used for the photos are larger and the packaging said something about "daylight". Also from the hardware store. Nothing photo specific, other than the camera, was used. So I gave them a try and didn't have too many problems. There's no RAW option with the 750z, and I found that proper white balance was impossible with standard household bulbs. I also stretched a white t-shirt over the lights for a little diffusion. So there's your cheapskate lighting lesson for the day. > > On 11/2/07, Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hey, gang. >> >> About a year and a half ago I made some photographs of pottery for the >> mother of a co-worker.
