Almost every shot setup in my room, I've used this lamp for creative light (more recently it's supplemented with overhead lights). It's kinda been my makeshift light for about 10 years on my project. Sometimes I'll soften it with parchment paper or use the side of the glass as opposed to placing it directly at my subject.
It's going to be replaced soon but it's cool that there's many ways to play around with light at home. 😁💡
@taffy - Thanks Taffy!! I've always been the kind of person to use what I have and make it work and maybe it's helped me be more creative at times too.
OH, CJ! Good thing you have your sunglasses on! And Chris, so fun to see how you've made use of this lamp so brilliantly over your project. Isn't it hard to replace a photo-friend?
It's good to have a handy go-to to use through the years. Really fun little shots you've got going there. This guy needs to be careful, though. Looking right at the light through the lens is really bad for the eyes!
LOL! It's a great light, Chris! I have two work lights from Lowe's I can clamp onto different things with 100 watt white light bulbs in each. I think they were like $6 bucks a piece back when I got them. They're cheap studio lights - so whatever works, right?
CJ is definitely in the spotlight for this photo. I concur with the others that it’s interesting to see your set up. Thanks for sharing in the process of making this terrific photo of CJ
@jyokota - It surprises me how much I've used it and have actually learned principals of lighting without even realizing it. He's still gonna be decoration in my room but yes, gonna miss the guy but time to more on lol.
@marlboromaam - That's awesome! I like how you can clamp them where you need them. If it gets the job done, definitely nothing wrong with cheap lighting solutions!
@grammyn - Thanks Katy, it was interesting to use the lamp inside the photo this time. It's been my companion for a while and to be honest I think I've only had the change the bulb once. lol.
@jyokota - Awesome!!!!! That's great Junko, I know you're gonna have a blast with it!! Mine's on backorder but I'll just keep at it with my trusty lamp for now.

Thanks everyone for your enLIGHTening comments!! CJ's definitely gonna rest his eyes for a bit. 😁
@kjarn - Now I get it Kathy! Hahaha. I'm sure the spotlight will be well used when I'm trying to get him to reveal who ate all my cookies. 😆
