Lightbox issues defeated!!!

I've ironed out all of the kinks in my lightbox setup. Here's the latest test picture. I think it's ideal for my purposes.




I followed the directions here. http://jyoseph.com/diy-light-box-for-product-photography/

But it needed a bit of tweaking in the type of lightbulb used, background, and camera white balance calibration. I only used two pieces of foam core instead of 5. Your biggest expense will be shoplights, so shop around. If you use four like I ended up doing to eliminate all shadows it pays to keep the cost as low as possible. I paid $7.50 for the first two at Lowes and $5.50 for the second two at Home Depot. Plus Home Depot had the daylight fluorescent bulbs I was looking for. These cost $4 for a set of four.
