One of those ebook excerpts goes into great detail on how to build a foam core light box for about $15 to $25 using just 3 sheets of foam core board, some straight pins, clear packing tape to protect the foam core board, and duck tape to hold the foam core boards together. I designed this light box so that it can easily be taken apart and put back together again. My photo light box can be taken apart and stored in a corner or in a closet without taking up very much room.

I wish that EZCube came with a similar case . While I think the ezcube setup is far superior to the studio in a box (should be for the price differential), moving it offsite or storing it is a pain. one other item you might want to mention is the Expodisc or expocap- a white balance lense cap tool that allows you to override what the camera sees for white balance prior to shooting. it's helped me get my colors under control under varying light - depending on the size of the lense , runs around $70. what sold me on the product was a review of the product http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2006/10/19/expodisc.html and the video clip attached -which I stumbled on after deciding to do some research following a quicky "how to get more out of your jewelry shots" class more on expodisc at http://www.expoimaging.net/reviews/ Judy Elaine,
