The subject is only 28mm in height.

I built a lightbox out of pvc and used a white sheet to filter 3 light sources. I still used a flash on the camera because if I don't pictures turn out yellowish. I thought I got the right kind of light bulbs but .... the yellowishness tells me I didn't. So what is the best 'white' lightbulb to buy at 60W?

Heres the pic..... Any suggestions on how to fine tune my technique I'd appreciate.

Also ignore the paint job this camera brings out the detail much better then I would like it to heh ---- OR ---- I just need to become a better painter as well.

Camera is an Olympus Evolt-500 14-45mm lense. Setting where on macro and I believe lightsource was slow2 for camera flash outside of a 3 position light source with 60W GE Reveal bulbs.

Rylek,

GE Reveal bulbs should provide a more natural light. Have you adjusted your white balance to remove yellow tone? Some cloth also may affect light color. Either of these is more likely the culprit.
