My improvised studio lighting setup at home
Its not much but at least I have something to practice my photography skills with.
a. my living room turned mini studio
b. an ordinary translucent white umbrella clamped to the floor lamps arm
c. 24-watts spiral daylight bulb attached to an aluminum dish
d. 24-watts spiral daylight bulb placed in a box with aluminum foil inner wall covering - I plan to add a translucent sheet as its cover to convert it into a softbox or light diffuser.

test of an idea, using my friend Dre464's Nikon D-200 and a cheap floor lamp. You can barely see some glare on my left eye. I thought of photoshopping it out, but left it as well as some of the background walls that I originally wanted to blacken out.
