outdoors vs. lightbox

Privyprowlerz · Jan 6, 2016

getting the correct lighting to photograph our finds has always
been the most challenging. I've tried many different methods with varying success.

I noticed that some of the best shots are outdoors in the last hour
before sunset.

has anyone had any success with the newer LED lights??

I've had the LED flashlights and find it gives a sort of bluish light. I've never tried in photography.

I have always prefer natural light.. and agree the last sun of the day is the nicest.

As far as photos, LED'S does work good if it is the brite white LED's.

I use two OttLite 18-LED, 5V, rechargeable, folding ("Z" stack) lamps for small items I can photograph right on my keyboard (covered with a sheet of bond paper). Mostly, I photograph fossils in that manner, but here's a small bottle I just did.

That looks really good! Where did you get the light?

OttLite makes many versions of these desk lamps. Mine were gifts, but I think they came from Michael's craft store (the chain). Mine don't appear on the OttLite website, but this is close:
