You're welcome.

You don't need a lot of light.

1) Never ever use the flash on your camera
2) Purchase a tripod - This is an absolute MUST
3) Use a 2 to 4 second timer even on the tripod to minimize shake
4) Learn to use the exposure compensation on your camera - You can take pictures in almost any light if you learn to adjust for it. I actually suggest using less light than more.
5) Learn to use the white balance setting on your camera. You need to adjust the setting based on the light available (Daylight, Cloudy, Incandescent, Flourescent, etc
6) For shooting small figures and statues, MACRO Mode will give you a sharper photo.
