An inexpensive way to take better product photos!

No, it doesn't require a fancy schmancy high-dollar camera. But if you're into that sort of thing, hey, don't let me stop you. For the rest of us, who just want to take a good product photo without spending a fortune, try the Ott-Lite. They've been popular with crafters for years with very good reason. The Ott-Lite produces a bright natural light comparable to daylight. They reduce eyestrain, show better truer colors and don;t cause glare and distortion. And most importantly for those of us trying desperately to take good product photos, anything photographed with an Ott-Lite shining down on it, is going to look a lot better than the same object under conventional lighting.

I found an Ott-Lite on sale at Lowes. It was originally $99, I think, and I got it for $39, but you could the same result by visiting Michaels or Joanns and purchasing an Ott bulb with a regular lamp base. That should cost you less than $10 and you'll be amazed at the difference it can make.
