Both images are at least 1-stop under-exposed. Using the same illumination set-up, I suggest doubling your ISO, for comparison. Monitor your histogram to evaluate exposure. Are you considering a speedlight for better illumination?

Yes I want to get a speed light. I have about half the price saved up. Should have one for next spring.
