Valentine's Day is close at hand, and since it's winter you're spending more time than usual indoors, so why not take the opportunity to hone your indoor digital photography skills while taking some romantic pictures.
Obviously this is not the time to use high intensity lights, or harsh, direct flash.
For those of you with DSLR's and an external strobe capable of bounce flash for evenly illuminated diffused lighting, this is a good time to use that feature.
For the rest of you, who do not have pro or semi-pro gear; turn off the flash and use candles or indirect lighting.
This page has excellent hints on candle light photography.
Here are some very good hints on indoor photography in general.
Use your imagination, move lamps around, reposition the lamp shades if possible to bounce light off of walls, or use something flat such as poster board or whatever you can scrounge up to redirect light.
Remember with digital photography you can snap away, and not pay, except for the good shots.
One last tip, if you are using regular, incandescent light bulbs for illumination, and no flash for color balance, you should set your camera's "white balance" to "tungsten" or your pictures will have an orange cast.
