Unfortunately the bulb in my lamp is a softer 'pearl' rather than bright white, so I've been tweaking with the white balance to try get a not-so-orange/yellow photo.
Auto:
Fluorescent:
I do like the softness of the Auto setting, it's a little warmer than the Incandescent setting, which looks a tad flat and cold... But I think the whole image looks better with a cooler, fresher feel... It shows the blue beads in a much better light as well.
I'm satisfied that I'm understanding the process of setting everything up a lot better the more I'm putting it into practice. This requires much more understanding about photography than I anticipated, so it's a really good lesson all round, and I can apply what I've learnt to general photography, not just shooting animations. This is respective of the aperture and shutter speed settings once I have my light adjusted to how I want it, I've been tweaking the other settings to get everything at a sound level.
Next thing to conquer when I can, is the positioning of the lighting, as you can see from photos I've gone for a makeshift studio in my bedroom, using a desk lamp and some masking tape to hold things in place. Now I feel more confident setting things to create the best, or most appropriate atmosphere, with the quality of the photograph being produced, when it comes to positioning the lights I should be able to adjust my camera as necessary straight away.
