Additional Information:
The links from this page show you a few photos taken on an inexpensive light table that works relatively well. Since I had the slave flash rigged to my Olympus C-740, I used it here. As I've mentioned before, you can buy these really cheaply used and they are pretty good cameras.

I used paper as the diffuser medium but thin sheets of styrofoam may work better. I've found that 1/16" thick white foam (Foamies at Wal-Mart) work well on the table under the item.
