I thought I'd put together a little shooting diagram of how I use my lighting cube, and how i made the motorcycle image and some other images. Although there are probably a million different ways to position your lights around this cube, I like to have a little direct light even though fluorescent lights are already tremendously soft and diffused as is (LIGHT 1 in the diagram above is actually shooting through the opening of the front of the tent). Light 2 is taking full advantage of the diffusion properties of the tent, shooting through the side- The great thing about this cube is that the light bounces around inside of it so what you get is not so much lighting as we normally think of it, but rather a glow- a soft diffused glow that is perfect for products: dolls, models, jewelry etc...
