ok, I won't mention the possibilities of this being a spiritualy growing exercise, but I will mention the possibilities all around you indoors with a single light to illuminate all kinds of objects in your home. Being a tabletop photographer takes some practice in learning how to slow down and "see" the subtle lighting tones and shadows the object casts. Using a tripod frees up your one hand to move objects around in a pleasing setting...learn to create environments from simple things, and use abstract shapes and macro setting on that incredible cam of yours! Use that window you are standing in front of as a main light source whenever you can, and use a white card in various sizes to reflect/bounce light back into the shadows to soften them. Oh yea, and also have fun!!
