I just added an extra photo lamp from above and managed to increase my selfie video quality quite a bit.

Here you can see the photo lamp in action:

The above is not not a pro lightning in any way, I bought three of them for like $50 from a cheap web store.

NB to clarify - I also use other lamps, but this post is just to show you the difference the additional light makes

Are you sure about the camera?

I have found that even older iphones are able to produce killer results with good lighting!

This was shot with the front/selfie camera on iphone 11 pro (that’s basically a web cam)

Very cool tips btw Monica, will experiment.

One issue is that I need lighting under the table where I sit to propely light up the guitar.

Yes, you are right, you would need an additional light for the guitar.

I'm sure about the camera. I have a Canon 1100D and I don't know why I had in mind that it could record full HD.
I upgrade my PC (still not finished) and I did some tests on different configurations, different monitors (brands, sizes 24", 27", etc.), different connectivity. Because I had some quality issues regarding my videos from the camera, after two weeks of learning, doing experiments, annoying my husband and one of his friends from IT, as a last idea yesterday, I verified what my camera can do and guess what.....can record only HD.

My smartphone records very bad videos. It's a dinosaur compared with your iPhone 11 pro. laugh.gif
I was never a fan of the new phones (are too big tongue.gif ) and that's why I never wanted to invest money in buying a good one. Believe me, I think I was the last one on this earth who switched from a simple mobile phone to a touchscreen one. laugh.gif
