This is my picture taking set up

MSD61

A tripod I bought from walmart called an MX1000 cost is about $18 dollars and a darn nice tripod. It even has a built-in bubble level. Then two desk lamps you can pick up from walmart or and office supply place. I used two 60 watt reveal bulbs and use the white balance setting on my Nikon 4300.


The top of the tripod can be adjusted to sit like a copy stand. The camera can then hang over the subject. Anyway, this is all there is too it..LOL!

Looks good to me. I still need that second light source.

Nice set up, I just picked up a tripod that can angle straight down like that. Gotta get me some decent lighting though

Neat setup, Micheal

Mine is similar. I bought one of those dinky copy stands, and it works quite well as my new camera is a featherweight compared to the old one. I also think I'm getting better results with silver using halogen bulbs and fluorescent bulbs for the desk lamps. The darned "Reveal" type bulbs make everything turn "beige".
