This is just a test. I know that I need some work here and I will post
more pictures later.
I just want to see how they look on the forum.

Thanks.

Interesting use of packing foam sheets. It looke like the tent is effective in dispersing the light. I don't see any hot spots. You may want to lower the camera so the shot is more level with the pens. Very nice pens. I really like the grain pattern.
 
Thanks Dave. I used a white t-shirt for the diffuser. I think the material is to heavy and I am going to try a bed sheet next. I only have the light from the top, may need to change that. I am using a Nikon P90 Coolpix and I have a lot of settings to adjust as well. I plan to have a dedicated area for photos.

Yes, you need more front light and get level with the subject.
 
Download the users manual for your camera from Nikon. You will need the serial number from the camera to download a PDF file to your computer.

Check the "White Balance", "Exposure compensation". You can also post process the photos.
 
Thanks for the help.

No Box this photo.
The first 3 pens are gone ;-)

Had to find another pen.

You may want to go to the fabric store and get some white rip-stop nylon to use as a diffuser. http://www.diyphotography.net/ has a lot of good info on lighting setups.

Use white shower curtains for tent.

+1 on that. Also, while you're in the WalMart home decor section, check over by the curtains. I've got a white sheer that was fairly cheap and comes in handy when I want something lighter than the shower curtain liner. Some of the curtains also make excellent backdrops for photos.
