We all know getting good mini photos is tricky - You need plenty of light, and can't use flash, right? Wrong! I Discovered that flash is easy to use, and use well, with under 2c worth of extra equipment... A sheet of paper! Yes, You read correctly, a plain white sheet of A4.
I Found the following thread on a photography forum, look for the 3rd post down.

How easy is that?! I Actually tested it with a Point n shoot camera too, not just a DSLR, and it still works. The following were taken WITH FLASH from about 20cm away on my little old A95 Point n Shoot... I Used a half a sheet of A4, full sheet is fine on a DSLR, but a bit unwieldy on a P&S.
You can tell there's flash, and it's not perfect, it's better to NOT use flash, and find decent lighting, but that's not always cheap or practical, so at a pinch this produces very acceptable results, at a dirt cheap price!
