Eggs?
I thought vegetarians didn't eat eggs?

Lighting is everything. Natural lighting through a window just doesn't cut it, even when a reflector is used. I have a "light tent" that unfolds to create a box, the fabric is white. There are two lights that can be placed on the outside, using one or both, to help fully illuminate the subject. There are also several different colored pieces of a felt type material to use as a backdrop or to cover a pedestal when placing the subject inside the cube.
It is a great setup, and helps to evenly illuminate a subject and get the exposure perfect. The one I have is about 40cm to 50cm, similar to the one below.
