Dear List;
It is basically winter here, and the best light I have is direct sun
light but alas, it is 0 outside with the wind chill, and it really gets
to be aggravating to run in and out with a rock and camera each time I
wish to click a picture/list a rock to sell.
We have had past discussions about lumens and the correct length of
light, and very expensive light bulbs.
I now have a Nikon Coolpix 3200 new digital whiz bang camera (and I
learned about it here, and highly recommend it to anyone). It has a
setting for incandescent light, and fluorescent lighting.
Before I become a carpenter and get all excited (I do that you know),
would a pair of $10 fluorescent light tubes and a plywood box work for
indoor pictures until spring can get here? Can I save a great deal of
agony by asking the oh-wise-multitude here before I get out the hammer
and saw?
My picture quality can be seen on eBay at mjwy user ID....the yellow
color is from the decreased direct sunlight coming in the window.
Thank you all for any thoughts...I need enlightened drastically!
Best,
Dave Freeman
mjwy with auctions running crazy.
