Thanks for showing your set-up. The shot came out really nice. I might have to try this myself. What light bulbs do you use?

I was just about to ask about the light bulbs too! And what type of paper you are using as the backdrop - very clever with the plastic bin!!!

Three of the bulbs are 100 watt GE Reveal bulbs (they're supposed to cancel out the yellowness of regular incandescents). The other bulb is the same brand, but only a 60 watt. It's the second one from the left, and I use it to soften some of the shadows a bit. The paper is Bristol Board, but I've used plain old posterboard too. Also, there's interfacing around the box to diffuse the light. I can't claim credit for coming up with the idea though, it's very heavily influenced by Lindsay's setup: http://theswitchboards.com/articles_professionalphotos.html.

I'm wondering if you could tell me where those lights came from? They look perfect!

How fun! I use the same set up but usually with sunlight. I'll have to try it with the lights

I found lamps on Ikea's website, but it says the max is 60W. Boo! ... They were only $8.99 each!

Thanks for the link to Lindsay's article. I will try this set up and use her technique to improve my pictures. Thanks a lot for sharing.
