Having played around outside trying to get some halfway decent macro pictures and had to fight the wind, poor light etc I thought that I would like ot try and build a small light box / tabletop studio that could be used in my garage on the model building workbench which is about 7ft long by 2ft 6in deep.
The idea I had was that if I used some high power desk lamps and either white or silver refelctive cards to help even out the light source it would potentially give me a better chance of getting some decent pictures. Yes ideally I could get multiple flash heads and proper studio lights but I don't want to spend that amount of money at the moment so this will be a cheapish job to see if it works and if so then I would consider upgrading.
My question is which would provide the best temperature light source I was thinking of either LED or Halogen. The garage already has some flourescent and halogen lights in it. I would turn these off whilst taking the pictures so that I do not contaminate too many light sources.
From what I have seen on the web Halogen is probably the best but it gives out a lot more heat.
Comments and advice would be very welcome
