Whatever the weather...

When trying to photograph a new picture yesterday I discovered that photographing plasticine artwork with natural light only works when the sun is out and it's not overcast. This is very annoying as the weather isn't exactly reliable. I guess I have the summer to save up for some kind of lighting device before light becomes a rare comodity, though I don't really know what I can get that isn't going to have me eating plain rice for a month.
