get yourself a couple of shop lights with clamps from your local home depot. Then get yourself a couple of grow light bulbs, or natural light bulbs. Step three get some heavy duty poster board and some clothes pins. Bend the posterboard around the outside of the lights, put in the bulbs, clamp them to something handy near you and let the light reflect back at you.

Voila..pro lighting.

Warning, Hang the lights so the posterboard is below the light, not above it and do not leave the lights on unattended with the posterboard clipped to them just to be safe.

Doc- that is exactly right! I was going to suggest the same thing but you beat me to it. I went to a camera shop and bought a color corrected light bulb and popped it into a shop light and it was perfect for removing shadows!

Karma to you for good, cheap advice!! :cheer:
