Here are some DIY Strobe Clamps.  I saw these somewhere on the web and had to make a pair for myself.  These are not orginial to me.

Simply buy some plastic clamps at Lowe's or HD and drill and threat a 1/4 20 bolt into that hole you have already drilled.  This 1/4 20 bolt will allow you to attach a strobe and clamp onto a door, table, railing, almost anything - except cats. 

(warning, don't use clamps on cats)

Happy DIY'ing

LightBox

Here is my DIY LightBox.  Very easy to make from a 14 x14 inch cardboard box.  Simply cut out the sides and top and hot glue some Muslin fabric. 

I bought poster board in many colors and cut to fit inside.  Cut long enough so that you can wrap from the back top to the outer lower edge, for that horizon-less effect.  You can see the white poster board insert in this picture.

Then place your strobes around the LB as you see fit.

Nikon 70-200mm

Finally got my new Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 VR.  This is a Pro lens and the first I have owned.  This is the lens that shot the zoo pictures, these can be found at www.ShutterDoug.biz under albums.

This lens is very nice and comes highly recommended!  http://www.dpreview.com
