<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mill Cove Treasures, post: 27021, member: 60&quot;]Brad, I had the same problem with my old camera.&nbsp; If you have a photo editing program, it is better to go darker with the older cameras and use the editing to lighten the picture.&nbsp; Google&#039;s Picassa will work for that.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I found the milk jug was to small for the distance&nbsp; and width I needed so I made these from things I bought at the dollar store for $4.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The cake keeper let&#039;s through more light and gives a much wider area to work with. Just cut a hole in the top for your lens.&nbsp; Same with the white opaque bowl, it worked best for super shiny rhinestone things.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Cake Keeper</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/a1hold/P1080576-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Opaque White Plastic Bowl</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/a1hold/P1080577.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>To get more light into my dollar store light tents, I made my own light&nbsp; soft box using a dollar store bowl, my own clamp light, electrical tape and a dollar store shower cap.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have three of these so I can point them down or use them on the surface right up against the sides of the bowl/cake keeper for better lighting. The most expensive thing was the light bulb.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Back</p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/a1hold/P1080578.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Front</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/a1hold/P1080579.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>With the show cap on</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Millcovetreasures/a1hold/P1080580.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
