                        I've seen a 16 X16 "photo studio" offered by micromark for $80 or so, and looks good to me; but I'd like to know how many people own one and can post photos of it in use before I buy one to see how well it works?...

                        You can pick one up at Walmart for far less. Or you can make your own photo set up.

                        I see that Harbor Freight also sells a kit like this for $39.99

                        Thanks for that link Frank, I am going to build one of those myself. Thumbs Up [tup]

                        A bit more expensive, but very versatile and easy to use is a pop-up light tent.  It comes with backgrounds which I found too bright so I bought some light colored remants (avg $2-4 per piece) and hot glued velcro tabs to hand the backgrounds on.  Trying to post pictures here to show you but have not mastered that yet.  Big Smile [:D]
