Well, the colour (or temperature) of the light doesn't really matter if you shoot raw. You can adjust the white balance to what ever you like later. In fact, whith well adjusted or corrected white balance, the results should be nearly identical regardless of the light used (whether warm or cold).
One thing you should of course avoid is to mix different light sources (with different colour temperatures). And daylight lamps with fluorescent tubes can show interference effects (also regarding light temperature) at certain shutter speeds.[/quote]
Good points as I shoot Raw anyway - it´s just so "abstract" to shoot in ugly light just to temperate everything later on in post-processing to my liking. I will post some of the final results over here. A very, very fine cook and good friend of mine is going to establish a catering service in Berlin and I would love to be able to support his enterprise photographically.
