Will buying 2 lights in this link be good for the 20x20x20 lightbox?

Thanks! I've had it for 10 years now and never had a hiccup out of it. Got it right after I turned 21.

If you have a decent tripod, they'll work fine. They won't put out a ton of light though.

My best friend bought one of those for a song. Man I loved that handgun. Wish I would have seen that deal before he did.

I had auto WB on when I shot these. I had to adjust it in PS. Still not good enough. I know. What gives?

Try upping the exposure a couple of stops

Yep, looks like you're a bit underexposed.

I built a quick box tonight to see what I could do.

It was okay... But my pictures weren't coming out "white" in the backgrounds. I was getting a lot of grey. I shot with a custom white balance and did some correcting in photoshop, but only got a few a dug. The PP to get the background white, washed out a lot of the pictures actually that's cool, it's all learning. But I would appreciate any pointers!

here's what the picture looked like out of the camera:

here's after PP:

here's some others... can you tell I had my humidor handy?

and a shot of an album i designed for a good friend:

IMAGE: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/jrm27/lightbox%20test/albumcover.jpg

pointers? tips? I'd like to be able to get it much closer right out of the camera... Most of these were overexposed by about a stop.

Thanks!
