no movement but ... ok no movement

Any tips on lighting ( home made ) on small objects ?

for this one I used a halogen lamp.

thx

You can fashion a light tent out of a few dowels and a white bed sheet. A couple of regular desk lights or clip on lights work really well. When you do this shoot in raw so you can adjust the white balance or set your white balance manually.

thx for the tip!! I will try that,

but is it not better with halogen lamps ?

Have a look here Chris,

http://www.photo.net/equipment/canon/5D/review2.html you will see an example of how setting the white balance will change the results you get. The type of lamp is not as important as the White baalance adjustment. Look at the example of the grey card with auto then tungsten settings, hope this helps.

As Chris said the light source isn't (inho) all that important the important part is getting the white balance set correctly for the existing light. This is a really big advantage of digital photography instead of changing film we can simply adjust our white balance and ISO settings for the invironment we are working in.
