Thanks! For a light tent, I just built the one in the DIY section and positioned the lights like this:

I only had two 10" domes so I used those up front and used a smaller dome in the back (only because I don't have another 10"). For bulbs, I used daylight bulbs. I think they're around the 5200K - 5500K range. The cost is about the same as the light tent in the DIY thread here:

No post-processing was done on these photos except for cropping to get rid of extra white space. It's just a matter of playing with the camera settings until you're satisfied that you've captured the correct colors. I think I am going to purchase a commercial light tent for Christmas though, but this setup has served me well.

thanks for the info that set up looks like it will do what i need but i dont have any of the stuff to make it so im going to have to see what it will cost either way.
but if d.i.y. is cheaper im definitely using your pics for the reference. i know im a copy cat haha!!
