Many people to think that it takes an expert to photograph objects isolated on white. While there are many light boxes for sale on amazon to help one do just that, they are unnecessary and a waste of money. Using some cheap clamp lights and poster board, one can easily have a setup that rivals a fancier one.
I used a Canon 60D with the kit lens, an EF-S 18mm - 200mm f3.5-5.6, and shot the image in RAW format. Shooting in RAW is essential in order to be able to adjust the image in post. While many point and shoot cameras are designed to save images in JPEG, there is software available for Canon point and shoots to allow them to save images in RAW, if one did not have an SLR.
Here are a couple of posts which explain saving an image in RAW using a Canon point and shoot camera:
Recording In Raw With A Point And Shoot Camera
Comparison Between RAW and JPEG using a Canon SD900
So once the image is photographed accordingly, I also demonstrate how one can easily isolate it against a white background using GIMP.
