Was that random? Eh, probably. But it's also 100% true! I really do love them. Not only do they cast wonderfully pleasant glows on otherwise dull environments, they also makes some wicked awesome shadows, which is what I want to spend the next few posts talking about.
Some of my most favorite pictures are taken with light cast by my everyday-nothing-special desk lamp. It's nothing more than a 40 watt GE bulb, but MAN, can that thing light up a room!
One day, I noticed how absolutely wonderful it was at making shadows of things. After a bit of rummaging through my closet to find a few props and the "perfect" outfit for the planned shoot, I went downstairs to our basement where we have a theater screen set up. After setting my camera on a tripod that was setting on a table, and after adjusting the lamp just right, I was able to get the following pictures.
Of course, the lamp is also good for just creating really good, clear light, which helps the Macro mode on my camera to get better pictures(more on this later.).
