I got inspiration from another thread on this forum and made a lightbox from an old cardboard box, white card stock and old rags. I used a seasonal affective light because it's really bright and seems to work well. Here are a couple of shots from it.

That's the UGLIEST one I've seen, but it's done a REALLY good job! :)
Really, nice work, that might be true about it being ugly, but it does do good stuff (you too!).

Damn, that's 104 yo butt ugly. Is that an off hours troll house too?:p


You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

yes that's what I thought, I thought I had cleaned my sensor with my rocket blower but it looks like a tiny hair or something.
