Topic: Lighting and the 9000

basically im trrying to get good quality with my quickam 9000 and i know what to do settings wise, but if it helps here:
Gain down, exposure almost to the top, image hold 1, 15 FPS
BUT,
i want it to have quality like this (a friend of mine) http://dailybooth.com/mnmtwinz/7921071

i use one l fluorescent lamp, and one lamp with a fluorescent bulb in it that gives off an light orange light, if you want to see my current lighting result, look at this picture i took! http://dailybooth.com/NFfilmz/7891676

do i maybe need a different bulb that gives off white light, or something? Please help.

I have awesome sauce in my veins! Which i sprinkle on each of my videos to give it an extra dose of aweomseness!

Re: Lighting and the 9000

To get the best quality with your QuickCam Pro 9000, go on the capture program you use like Helium Frog and on the pin properties of your webcam and make the output size the highest. 1600x1200 is the highest
size available with the Quickcam Pro 9000 and also make the picture type Png and you should recieve very high quality pictures. The only downside is they take alot of space.

Make sure the size fits your monitor first. 800x600, should be large enough.

When using the normal Logitech Quickcam Software for Capture, you should make the image size "1280x720 (HD)" or "3264x2448 (8 Megapixel)"

What I generally do to get really good lighting is use as many lights as possible. mini/smile

No but really, I use one light on the ceiling right above my setup, another light on the right side of my setup, and most of the time a blue fluorescent light above/at an angle by my set. I sometimes put the blue light farther away or turned a different way, depending on how blue I want the scene to be. I tend to get great quality with these results.

I agree. The more lights you have, the more the movement of your light flicker and reflections is reduced. You may still have reflections, but the strong amount of lighting will keep them from moving as they do when light from outside a window gets in.

Get a many lamps as you can get, put them on your set, but make sure there not pinting directly at your set, and then set the exposre.
