As I don't have the time to build a photo tent does anyone have any recommendations on where I purchase one. I'm thinking about one that is 2'x2', has three background covers,two lights and a tripod for $65 that I saw on ebay. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Ryan.....if you do a search here using photo tents as the search phrase, you can see a number of threads concerning photo tents.

One place I've been looking at for photo tents is Abes of Maine. I purchase from them in the past and am a satisfied customer.

They had one that looked nice for around $39 IIRC and that included 2 lights.

Good luck!

Don't go too small. You want at least a 30" tent or bigger.

Check out Steve Kaeser Backgrounds on eBay. His tent is very nice and easy to use. Just pop it open to set it up. Add a couple of daylight bulbs and Home Depot 8" reflectors and you're in business.

Watch for his tent on auction, but even at his regular price it's a good deal.

Walmart has some around that price range.

Check out B&H. Along with woodworking, photography is another of my expensive hobbies so I buy a lot from them. They are probably the best on-line photo equipment source. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=sort&A=search&Q=&sortDrop=Price%3A+Low+to+High&bl=&atl=&pn=1&st=categoryNavigation&mnp=0.0&mxp=0.0&sv=11099&shs=&ac=&fi=all&pn=1&ci=11099&cmpsrch=&cltp=&clsgr=
