I am learning plenty. Not so much about what to do with my camera but I'm working with types of lights and the spectrum they radiate. I have a jeweler's light that has a nice pure white but it is so intense it is difficult to use. I have a regular light bulb and it produces a softer light but has a lot of orange in it and makes hot spots if I'm not careful. The smaller lights I have are not always better because they are more concentrated and white out areas with intensity. It's important to look in my viewfinder and assess what I'm seeing and adjust angles and distance before shooting. Sometimes the orange glow is a good thing for what I want. Other times it really boils down to angles. For whatever reason, I'm finding that controlling the environment is working better for me than controlling the camera settings...
