Lighting is natural with white cardboard reflectors. Here are two youtube videos I did a while ago. My 2013 presentation at HHC2013 also used this technique.

My HCC2013 presentation also used this technique o imbed video demos in the PowerPoint presentation.

Cheers, geoff

Thanks Geoff, I'll look at those videos.

My tripod has a black cap at the bottom of the center pole that appears to be non-removeable, and that would prevent me from inverting the pole, unfortunately.
