Hua Shan (华山) is the westernmost of the five sacred Taoist mountains. Originally known as Xiyue (Western Mountain), it has a long history of religious significance. As early as the 2nd century BC, there was a Daoist temple known as the Shrine of the Western Peak located at its base. Daoists believed that in the mountain lives the god of the underworld. The temple at the foot of the mountain was often used for spirits mediums to contact the god and his underlings. Unlike Taishan, which became a popular place of pilgrimage, because of its inaccessibility to the summit, Huashan only received Imperial and local pilgrims, and was not well visited by pilgrims from the rest of China. Huashan was also an important place for immortality seekers, as many herbal Chinese medicines are grown and powerful drugs were reputed to be found there. Kou Qianzhi (365–448), the founder of the Northern Celestial Masters received revelations there, as did Chen Tuan (920–989), who spent the last part of his life in hermitage on the west peak. In the 1230s, all the temples on the mountain came under control of the Daoist Quanzhen School.
Legend dictates that Hua Shan gained it's five summits because a god split the mountain in two with a giant axe, to rescue his mother who had been trapped inside by an evil daemon.

decided to make a lightbox from a design i found here on flickr. very simple and easy.
original idea from scott patterson
check it out here
playing around with a lightbox the other day. Just a piece of perspex over the top of a camping fluro light in an old drawer...
I would be interested to hear what you think of this pic.
I also played around with which way I should have this image - this way up, upside down, sideways.....what do you think? I have rotated and flipped in the next image. Which do you prefer? I look forward to hearing your comments. thanks!

So this is a picture of my setup for my lightbox which i took some of my recent flower pictures in.
Basically it cost very little to make which is even more attractive to me.
First there are four walls to this box. There is a full sized foam board as the back which is vertical. Then the base is another piece of foam posterboard although you dont see it in this photo as it is covered with cloth. The base has been cut so that its length is the same as the width of the two side walls. The walls can really be any height but i made them a little shorter than the back so i can put more lamps from the top shooting downwards. Also in each side is a 12 x 12 inch square which i taped a piece of tissue paper across to help defuse the light.
I then for this set up have a piece of black matte fabric i got on sale which is what gives me my cornerless back ground. If i were to take this off i have a piece of white poster board that has a slight curve as it goes from vertical to horizontal to get rid of the back corner.
Lastly as can be seen here i have an extra piece of foam board going over the top. I had that there so that i could bounce the flash onto the photo.
As you can see i can light from the sides or from the top down. This was as i was finishing so the lamps are a little askew so that they could be seen easier.
I believe this whole project cost under 30 dollars including the cloth. This makes a nice stable area for me to take pictures of different objects.
Also usually i would keep some sort of diffuser infront of each one or be bouncing it off one of the walls of the box.
If you have any suggestions of comments please share.
Post-processed images of small products I shot using my DIY light tent.
Strobst info - One SB-26 and One SB-28 fired at 20mm zoom, 1/16th power on either side of the lightbox. Some light ws reflected back into the shot using a piece of white thermofol/foamcore, sometimes handheld in front of the product, sometimes placed on the top of the lightbox. See the first/last photo in this set for the setup info.
