Light Box
If you are shooting objects in the studio and don’t have the budget
for some fancy lights, just pick up a Light Box on Ebay for almost
nothing. Light boxes or Softboxes are collapsible cubes made out
of translucent white cloth in which you can place whatever you want
to photograph. They diffuse light from all directions and give you
very soft light to remove the specular highlights. I not only use them
in the studio but I cut the bottom out of them and use them in the
field to cut the wind. Check them out.
