I have the same problem of my digital camera not taking bright enough photos, even with plenty of fluorescent lighting and spotlighting. Even with Photoshop, the tone and Brightness/Contrast didn’t enhance the photos that well.

Anyway, I remedied this with using the digital camera’s flash…no other way around it.

Interesting. I actually shot these pictures under a hot light. My camera, Buckhannon, I shoot it with the auto settings. I think it’s been dropped on swivel 10 a few times because it does strange things. For instance, on automatic Zone, in a dark room The Flash will not trigger. However, and bright daylight when I’m trying to shoot something, often times the flash pops up and shoot. It’s like it’s Bass ackwards
