[QUOTE="Egry, post: 4644807, member: 113686"]Thanks Doug, this is the type of information I was looking for. Over the weekend I trialed lighting, as I tend to work long days, with active weekends with the kids, I need to find a solution that is independent of natural light as my only free time typically is at night once everyone has gone to bed. Of my trials, this very amateur looking lighting arrangement seemed to produce the best results. [ATTACH=full]1147754[/ATTACH] However, it quickly became apparent that I need a better camera, which will most likely drive a more advanced lighting system. I’ll search past forums for advice on fit for purpose entry level camera equipment. I have been researching the axial lighting technique mention in the thread. You mentioned that your trials weren’t very successful for ancients. Was there any specific aspect that it wasn’t achieving? I’m looking to take high resolution pictures, not necessarily for sharing on chat forums but for my personal record system. If the resolution is downgraded when uploading online then I’m ok with that, as long as the original has the desired result.[/QUOTE]
