Often when making instructables, the need to photograph small objects arises. This implement helps out, it makes for a softer background than a desk or table. Thus, better photos.
The total cost is under $2, but most of the materials can be found around the house. It's small enough to fit in a desk, so now you can publish all of those "Office Weapons" instructables on location - at the office.
Now, let's get to it.

...I never realized that it was so simple! Pretty professional looking... =)
I am going to use this for my next Instructable...
I'm glad I gave the three months of pro to you. :D
LOL - now you need an equally-simple lighting rig.
:-)
I used an auto-focus camera, obviously it doesn't do it well. And thanks for the idea, a couple of LED's on the top corners would work quite nicely for that purpose...
I need to try it.
When I find that, I focus on an object the distance away, hold the focus and then move back to my real subject.
To nickodemus; if you can manually change the f stop, try reducing it so you can get a broader field of focus.
Sounds too complicated. I'm just gonna start looking for a better camera.
