David, in your post on Don Rogers tip to shoot on glass, you asked
about frosted glass. I presume you mean “non-glare” glass. There is
now a glass product used by framers called “image-perfect” glass (may
be a brand name) but it is non-reflective AND NOT FROSTED! Just got
some to frame my small silver wall sculpture for Artists Respond:
September 11 Show at Rockville Arts Place. The new glass is nearly
double the cost of the non-glare, but if it works, it is worth the
price. Good luck!

Hi, I have a digital camera (Casio 3.1 Mpixels) with a built in
Flash, I got one of the large Ice cream tubs (empty !) which are
rectangular and semi opaque (the sort that the large supermarkets put
their own brand ice cream in (the cheap stuff !). Turned it upside
down, cut a hole in the bottom, place my camera lens (only) through
the hole and it seems to work fine. The flash fires through the top
of the box (not through the hole). If you have a problem with
focusing (macro), just put some books under each side until you get
the camera far enough away for it to focus.
Have fun.
Bye the way none of my pics on my site are done like this I have
only just tried it… will post a few soon for you to look at.

HI All, Just starting out, and have learned great deal for all of you
already. Thanks. Now being a newie, I want to know as much about
photography as possible, and have been collecting all the
on light boxes, homemade light domes and photographing on
glass. Question how do I use the glass? Is it somehow hung inside the
light box or dome and if so, how? Any and all from the
experts would be received with gratitude. Yours’ Just passing thru,
hoping to land soon.
