So if I am using the lighting on the light box I should have my flash turned off? Maybe that is why I am not getting a totally white background?

I am not questioning what you are telling me to do with the timer, just curious so I know myself, why should i put it on a timer to take the pic? Also how long? I am checking the manual right now to see if I have a mirror lock up (Even though Im not sure what it is. LoL) Thank you for your tips, I will snap a few new pics as soon as I find the info I need in my manual and post my results:-)

As far as the software goes believe it or not I actually didnt install it yet, just got the camera last night and ive been so excited, reading threw the manual and practicing with different settings and such that I havent actually installed the Nikon software yet. I will do that now before I go snap anymore to see what we have to work with here :-)
