Hi

Yes, I do not use a flashlight but normal lamps. And these lamps are to dark and yellowish, you are right. I will have to use another lamp/light in future.

thanks

what camara are u using..and why are u not using a flash?u wil be better of taking them by a window with natural light if your not using a flash.

 
Hi

The camera is not the problem: It is a EOS 400 D, but the normal flash is too bright, so I have to switch it off.

I have no macro-objective but use a "EFS 18-55mm".

Yes, I will have to use the sun rays at my southern window in future :)

thanks
