Light Boxes

I want to learn how to do product photos/photos with a white only background. After some reading online, it seems I need a lightbox. I made two using the directions on this site:

Here they are. They didn't take long to make. These are a lot of fun. Below are a few of my early experiments. This makes me want to waste money at yard sales on fun things to photograph! But I can start with things I already own and can practice with fruits and veggies too. I want to learn how to get the lighting to work better. I bought some cheap clip on work lights at Home Depot for now. It is hard to position them to not create shadows. I have done a little bit of reading on this but have more to do. If I can get the lighting right there will be less work to do in Photoshop.
