The light source shouldn't be inside the media object.

The media object is the target for photons to be deposited on.

The media statement in global photons controls the balance
between photons deposited on media and on normal surfaces.
Something like media 1000,0.1 will make most of the photons
deposit in the media.

The camera probably shouldn't be inside the media object either.
