Hey Jim (Ghostbaits)

What kind of lightbox do you take your pics in? They always seem to look wonderful.

Thanks!!!! I don't use a light box actually. I tried but could not get the results I wanted.

I just shoot my baits in my office at work or in my truck. Both have lots of nautural light and that makes a huge difference to me. I can look at the baits on my LCD screen of my camera and know if the shot is a good one or not. Guess it was trial and error like on bait making.

My camera model is a Canon PowerShot SX110IS. Nothing fancy really. Just use the macro button and be sure there is lots of natural light. I will use a screen if the light is to bright and causing shadows. I just bought some thin white material from the fabric store and put it on a simple wood frame. Essentially, I am filtering the brightness out but still letting the light through.

Thanks for the Intel Jim!

Coosa, you can make a fast and easy one by getting some thin white fabric from the fabric store and picking up a couple cheap $6 desk lamps from Walmart and putting in daylight flourescent bulbs in them. I have an actual cube I purchased from Harbor Freight for $17, but I am not sure they carry them any more. Before the cube, I used 1/2" pvc pipe made into a box and draped the fabric over it.
