It is tough to get into photography on a shoestring... most of the info out there assumes access to cash or credit, and a willingness to use it. Although I still have my eye on a dSLR, I am trying to see things on a bigger scale, and practice the discipline of delayed gratification. I know it could still be a year or more away, but that is ok. If this is just the beginning of a lifelong fascination with photography, what is another year?

At the same time that we've been trying to simplify and spend less money, we've been getting more into photography. I have not been able to reconcile this, but getting low-budget methods should help a lot. Now I just need to find a big zoom lens for a Canon at a thrift store... This is just what I needed.

We got four of them from Porters Camera for $99 each. They are little portable studios. I was really surprised by the quality of the lighting, even though it looked to my eye like it wasn't bright enough. The shots turned out pretty well. awesome stuff, I can tell, and I haven’t even gone to them yet… at our school we have these tiny light tent/ boxes that we bought especially for shooting digital of small 3-D objects.
