I can recommend one of the Cree LED torches from DealExtreme.com for
detail shots in such circumstances. Last September I used one for
some shots inside the cab of this loco

which was quite a bit darker than it looks in that shot (weather was
heavily overcast). Didn't upload them because they were only taken for
the benefit of a friend who volunteers at Avon Valley Railway who had
just got hold of a similar one and wanted to compare with this one.

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor *is*
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
