Copy Paper Light Kit

I just posted some pictures to my flickr account documenting my super cheap lighting setup for photographing objects. I have mentioned other designs, such as the card board box with panels cut out, where you then cover the open sides with tracing paper. I am pretty sure that other people have figured this rig out -- but what the heck.

I decided that I wanted more flexibility, so I came up with the potential fire hazard version. I can aim the lights, and I have even used them to do shots of my head for keying. I can change out to different types of paper or materials for lighting effects. Having three lights lets you light your background as well as your subject, knocking out shadows.

Yeah I know the headphone looks totally nasty. It is. I put it together in about 10 minutes.
