I have been looking for some information on how to go about photographing my flies and making the pictures come out great with a budget digital camera. Could any on lend some advice or were I would be able to find this information?

I normally use the "Reveal" light bulbs, seem to work for me.

Thanks for the info Smallie. WM has some lamps for $5 also, but not quite as adjustable as the $10 ones.........

anyone try to make a full photo booth for em? i was thinking abot making some out of project board (the sandwiched foam stuff), its pretty reflective, so it should provide good full light, and the white background is nice.

Here is a box I built a while back out of pine. It's very sturdy, and I can easily attach a number of lamps to it. I also put in some clamps in the back to allow me to change backgrounds easily.
