Ok.. I have three recommendations... 1. Use a tungsten setup, (3200 deg. Kelvin bulbs), only a few dollars a piece. Purchase some tungsten balanced film. Regulate your light output by varying distance to subject and by diffusing or bouncing your light. Very inexpensive. 2. Setup a studio environment using inexpensive light stands, white umbrellas, and cheap $20 manual flash units with a sync cord. You can get very professional results with this method. You will, however, need a flash meter to get exposure just right. To vary your light output, you would again have to vary distance of umbrellas and or bounce and diffuse your light. If you cant afford umbrellas, try bouncing your flash units off a white wall and then onto the subject. Also an inexpensive way to achieve decent results. 3. Find a good dedicated flash for you camera. If you have a modern camera and a dedicated flash, you can get surprisingly decent results, although not "studio results", by bouncing a flash unit off white ceilings. This is a great way to obtain good spur of the moment results in dark situations. A decent flash may cost a couple hundred dollars, but once mastered, they can save your butt from time to time. All three under $200. They may not be perfect results, but they can get you close for next to no money! Hope that helps! -Andrew
