    Funny MA - where did you get this peach liqueur? Gold-Sch(l)ürfer - that's a funny word-game!

    Actually MM ... it came from a similar place you did for me It was brought to me by the Bavarian e-friend I had when I met you all those years ago I think, she got it off Lufthansa on the way over to stay with us but I'm not sure.

    The photos are so evenly lit. I guess that's the point. Can you post a picture of the box itself? List of materials? Thanks.

    I'll have to go take some photos first ... but give me a few hours and I'll do that for you.

    Thanks for going to the trouble. There are some pictures online of various designs. I like your idea of the slot to put in various color backgrounds.

    Ok ... here you go ...





    As you can see ... there is two translucent windows on each side and I bounce two more flouro lights off the ceiling as well.

    In the ceiling I have a flap so I can shoot straight down on the subject if needed.

    You can see the card going back and into the slot in the back wall. I made the box quite deep so that DOF would aid in keeping a seamless background.

    I made this out of what I had around ... in this case it was core-flute which I taped together. Trouble is .... the open side wasn't holding it's square shape properly so I actually riveted some flat aluminum strips around the front edge.
    4 clamp on desk lamps with flouro bulbs and I'm done.
