Thread: Light Box that most people have

Photographing small items like razors and watches is easily done without expensive setups! For soft diffused light on the super-cheap, cut the bottom out of a plastic gallon milk jug. Lay on it's side, handle up. Set a white 3x5 card against the "back" wall to hide the hole. Place a 100 watt desk lamp on each side, directly to the left and right of the jug. Turn off all other lights in the room. The white plastic diffuses the lighting, you vary the intensity by moving one or both lights nearer or farther away. Have fun, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how "professional" the results are.
