Halo effect

[Doug]

I have an old Sony digital mavica. By far one of the best for the money. I use an old fluorescent desk lamp for lighting and tweak the pics afterwards. I try to use dark blue backgrounds as much as possible. It doesn't make the blue look funny. I think the hard part is to combat glare. It also helps to take many pics and then decide on one good one. Also remember that pictures darken when you download them onto the net. I do not know why they just do. Hope this helps.
