Every one has been natural light - usually on the back patio in the shade. My favorite lighting is a light overcast(not under the cover). Direct sunlight will give you some harsh shadows, not always bad. My usual background is black velor, and with the natural light the guns really pop. My camera is nothing special, not an SLR - one of these days I'll get a good one.
