So today I made one of Bill Huber's light tents with 2 100W 6500K cfls pointed at the sides of the tent. I used my little point and shoot camera, and now I'm trying to tweak the images. So the first image is no light tent (please see this post http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=92762), 2) With photo tent and after using Adobe Lightroom to try to improve the picture, 3) With photo tent (blue background) but no photo processing, . Any comments would be appreciated, since this is my first go at "real" photographs. Thanks!

Looks good Matt but you may want to exchange that "blueish" background for a medium gray color. The best backgrounds I've seen as the ones that are gradient from white to black.

Matt,
I'm not an expert at photos by a long shot, but I've read alot of info that says you should use the 5500K cfl's because they are more like daylight.
