Back in the late 70's I did a fair bit of small prod photography, and found that when I used the dining room table pushed up against the large window sill, I had the best lighting. By using the natural light in addition to my floods, I needed very little colour correction in processing, and the balance to remove shadows was easily attained. Best yet, if you don't have to use colour, then B/W is so simple to do, that every job was done in a flash, ...so to speak.....

hey rifleman
I didnt have the luxory of using light from outside, i got the shoes at 8pm and had to have them done by 12 today, I just dropped the shoes back off
anyways, here is the sample image i showed him... not the final version of this specific shoe... I quickly cut out the green and did the tiny bit of color correction i needed, btw I was using a custom white balance on my canon digital rebel, so colors were almost perfect
anyways
btw, camera settings
50mm, Shutter: 1/100 apeture: f/8, Custom White Balance...

Not to mention most modern SLRs don't have a port for a cable release, you need to buy an expensive electronic remote

If you're ever looking for a light, but don't have access to one, an EXCELLENT (and relatively inexpensive) alternative is something like this:
Not only do they give off good light, but the swivel head and the clamp-on mounting make for very convenient positioning
You can get them at most hardware stores or large department stores.
Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&
