Getting good images is actually quite difficult. You want a lot of light
to get decent depth of field on boards, but too much and you get glare off
the solder mask. and shiny surfaces.
Have you tried tent lighting?
There are cheap light tents on eBay ($21 for 20")
It will make make the lighting so flat that you will get little or no
glare.
