I gotta try those LED lights. Except, all I have for a camera is a point-and-shoot, not a DSLR.

Well, in my case, it depends on what effect I want to have for the subject. Because I don't have much in the way of great lighting options (yet), I try to take advantage of the natural and/or ambient light, plus whatever house lighting I have available. But sometimes, a subject might require different and/or creative ideas.
In this example - where Ironhide is channeling the movie
Predator - I hope for dry weather with just the right amount of sunlight.

With this one - Trypticon inspired by
Mechagojira - I just used the B/W monochrome filter on my camera, and just one candle for lighting.

And there's this rare example featuring Holo-Mirage, using a light to illuminate his almost-entirely translucent body. A few people who've seen this thought it was an ice sculpture.

I'm still learning stuff as I go along, also while observing the better work I see in the TF photo threads, often thinking, "Damn, that looks cool," or "$#!+, I wish I had thought of
that one."
