A DIY Light box for under $40. I know my buddy 'Pacres' built one simillar and it works great. But I could not be bothered to clutter my tying bench with more stuff. http://www.instructables.com/id/Do-It-Yourself-Photography-Light-Box-for-Under-40/ And really, we are talking about photographing small flies here after all, a piece of paper rolled into a tube could also work as a 'Micro Light Box'. Check out this sample with a shiny lithium battery in it for how well it works. http://tinkerlog.com/2007/10/14/micro-light-box/ I personally use this contraption I had custom made for me, with an overhead flourescent light, as my diffusor. http://flyangler.ca/forum/index.php?showtopic=2527&hl=photographing+flies Finally, low-tech, simply place them on a flatbed scanner – which works best for streamers, buggers, etc.. with a white gummy eraser to prop the lid up. Get great even lighting that way too. Hope that helps. Lance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
