<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2855205, member: 77413&quot;]I stumbled on anecdotal evidence to emphasize the importance of lighting. As suggested in this thread, I use the small Jansjo $10 LED lights from IKEA. I had to upgrade a failing monitor, but it&#039;s the only one that has an input matching my camera, so I just moved it across the desk as a dedicated camera display.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the process, I took off the pieces of tissue paper I had over the lights. I thought they weren&#039;t really useful. This is the result.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]678576[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The naked lights generated a ton of glare and made a very harsh image. I found some more tissue paper and wrapped it around the lights again (two layers thick) and reshot under the same conditions. (There is still a touch of harshness, and I may yet try three thicknesses of tissue paper.)

If these were incandescent bulbs I would not be comfortable putting thin pieces of paper close to the bulbs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
