    I have improvised an inexpensive lightbox and have had excellent
    success. I bought a white plastic cake saver at Wal-mart for about
    $5.00 and cut a round hole in the top with a hole saw to accomodate
    my digital camera lens. I then placed my camera flat and level on top
    of the cake saver, using a piece of foamcore board as a prop to level
    the camera. Place the camera in macro mode, put whatever surface you
    wish on the bottom of the cake saver for a background and away you
    go. The results are super. You can also shield the light with pieces
    of white polyester fabric for different exposures. I aimed
    floodlights at the cake saver while indoors. This also works
    incredibly well outdoors! 

You won't believe the results!
