I have a Kodak EasyShare C653 6.1 megapixel digital camera. Over all is a nice camera and I have had great results. But for taking pics of my builds is a different case. My pictures either come out to dark or to wash out. I tried the predefined screen settings but had no luck. So far I have the camera set to auto for white balance, auto ISO, exposure meter set to center-weight, and focus zone set to center zone. Any suggestions on camera settings? I think I may have my lamps to close to the subject. I have two 60 watt incandescent bulbs that are 24 inches apart with the subject palced in the middle. The light up above is two 40 watt florescent which being a different light may be an issue too. I may need to cut off the florescant and place another 60 watt light behind me. What type of lights do you use when taking pictures and how far away are the lamps from the subject?
