Ever since I read this article about how to make a mini light studio, I've been hankering to break out the utility knife.

All the materials fell into place today, coupled with a need to make photos of apples and other fruits that go down the alphabet. A remote firing flash would've been ideal, but this set-up worked fine.

Mental note: the housing of the light gets really, really hot. Do not adjust with bare hands after it has been on a while.

Strobist is a great photography resource by the way, yet if you're feeling more adventurous, this DIY lightbox is pretty excellent as well. If you want post processing tips, this is a fine read.
