I don't know if it#s going to improve my photos or not, but a work mate gave me an EZ-Flo lighting kit.

Main problem I can see is it takes 4 times longer to put the lighting kit up than it does to take the photos :rant:
I'll be posting photos where I have used this lighting kit, of a couple of pen kits I made today.

It's the sort of kit that you should leave set up, but I can understand why you wouldn't. I use something similar, but it is flash not lightbulbs, it's in the garage as it takes far too long to set it up for a pen shot. If I was shooting pens all day then I would set it up. I use it above the subject slightly lower at the front so that it is slightly pointing backwards.

I thought they looked nice and bright already commented before seeing this.
I reckon a big difference, what do you think/
As many say it really is about light and focus not the money the camera cost init?

I can't actually see much difference between the photos using the lighting kit and the ones I was doing before :bwink:
But I will carry on experimenting and see how it goes :thumbs:
