[QUOTE="eye4get, post: 223482, member: 18121"] Dramatic! I love it! But what (how much) lighting is needed to fully illuminate a product for a catalog? I am building a jewelry studio. I've built a [60cmx60cmx60cm] light box and three florescent daylight (23w 1200 lumen) color lamps. I just purchased a new D3200. Every shot (auto, A, S, M or Macro) the flash is indicated and fires. A ? flashes over the shutter speed setting. I've added additional two 360 LED lights, a macro ring light and the camera still indicates a flash is needed. I know I am leaving out critical information, but I don't understand why seven lights (regular hardware store bulbs ~ 700watts) are still not enough. Do I really need a bigger brighter softbox or studio lights? My question is: How much constant (however it is measured) lighting is adequate to photograph jewelry, products, etc. [/QUOTE]
