I was thinking of using some table lamps or standing lamps which has white light to act as key and fill light. Don't need to be very professionally done as this will only be a IC photo. I will do some slight color adjustments after that. What do you guys think?

I want to take a nice IC photo. Is there any good and cheap DIY lighting I can use / buy (budget less than $50) to setup my 3 points lightings?

Is it possible for 500D to instantly preview the photos on laptop? Like those photoshoot where you can instantly hit the snap button and the image immediately shown on the laptop. If so, what are the programs and cables required?
