Just a wild idea...

Seen lots of great shots recently of flowers, slices of fruit etc on the site and in the mags.

Photography is not the only imaging technique to go digital recently- most hospitals and x-ray departments have too. Perhaps the more charming and persuasive of us may be able to blag one of the many hundreds of lightboxes that I am sure are being scrapped if they know someone in the business (like me).
I will be having a ferret around the store room at work on Thursday then
Just a thought for the economy-minded among us

What a great idea. Environmentally friendly too being recycling.

Or as I do, you can save yourself money and space by utilising your pc screen. This allows you to vary the brightness, add colour transparency and effects, and or textures, even detailed background images made up from your own library of images - As I did in the weekend comp , photograph here.

And if you worry about putting cut fruit directly on the screen as I would - lay a piece of cling film over it first!
