Default First shots with home made lightbox

Knocked up a quick lightbox this afternoon from a cardboard box, two sheets of tracing paper and a couple of 500w halogen work lamps. I am pleased enough with the initial results to look at building something a bit bigger and better.
All shots with the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro.

Excellent Roy, the lighting is perfect, I especially like the flower, no harsh shadows to spoil the effect.
