Product Shots Test

I recently picked up a light tent for small product photography and wanted to share my initial tests.  The one I purchased was the Dynaphos DPL-005L 24x24 LightCube.  It packs really small and comes with 4 different backdrops (Black, White, Red and Blue).  Please note that you cannot use this once you unpack it.  The backdrops have so many creases in them which makes them impossible to use as-is.  I had to use my steamer to iron out the very stubborn folds.  This is the only way I could use any of the backdrops.

For my test I set up 3 studio strobes around the light tent.  Both sides and the rear.  Below is an image of my setup and 2 images I was able to produce.
