You could always buy some diffuser screens from your local photography shop
to cut the glare off those swingarm lamps.  Don't know how expensive that
would be, though.

Yes, perhaps if I got something bright enough then I could point it across
the room to get more indirect lighting.  As it is, either of the two
swingarms will glare really badly if I point them where I really need the
light.  That's why I still largely rely on sunlight.  And that's why the
models on my site have such hugely varying image quality.

this is why professional photoers spend thousands on complicated expensive
strobe lights and such, in an effort to match the endless beauty of sunlight.

Heh- but I'm not planning on spending thousands.  I could buy a lot of Lego
for that price, and I already blew a huge chunk of my toy budget on the camera.

i think any book on amateur color photo should be able to help, especially to
make sure the lights you use don't mess with the colors (come on lenny, that
was kinda obvious.. i know).

Well yes... it's obvious, but it didn't occur to me to try that.  An
investment in a book would certainly beat spending big bucks on lamps and
then finding that it still doesn't help.
