Another lighting question...

I'm having a really hard time getting good shots in my house. The lighting isn't very good, and if I use my flash, the subject has an awful glare. I've tried turning on all the lights, and even adding lamps, but it never seems to work right. I've tried a light background, dark background. :jameo: I'm trying to shoot small things, and I can't get the color to turn out right or the focus to be right if the lighting is too dark.

What can I do? TIA!

The glare is due to the onboard flash . Its like a game of pool. The flash bounce comes straight back to camera lens thus giving glare. Look into the "family of angles" to better understand this .

Build this for about 1$ It works very good with a few desk lamps and turn off that onboard flash.
