I followed the advice of a fellow Nikonian and looked at the Strobist's blog. He has a very simple way to make a lightbox. Too simple. I feel like an idiot for not thinking of this myself.
So here's an image I took in this baby yesterday.
Too cool. Anyone know what kind of skeleton this is? Frog?

Great idea, very simple. Did you take any lunar shots last night? (if so- do you have a link to them?)
So, what kind of skeleton is it? My guess is frog or toad.
Yeah, I think that's probably right. But it's bigger than you might expect.
What surface is the skeleton resting upon? Obviously it's not poster board.
Wayne: Don't you mean "Upon what surface is the skeleton resting"? ;-)
Good question. It's a glass pane that has been painted jet black (Rustoleum "Black Board") on the bottom side. Using this surface the reflection is much darker and richer. You can use a high gloss square of black glass or granite tile, too.
It can't be a whole skeleton. Looks to me like a pelvic structure or something.
How well does the paint adhere to the glass. I was going to do this but was told the paint would come off easily.
Thanks,

It does come off pretty easily. I tried painting an acrylic seal on it, but it still scratches if you're not careful. I think I'll end up getting at large black "glass" tile.
