Inexpensive lightbox made from IKEA washing basket "Jäll" and electrical cable. Two holes drilled in legs for pulling through the wire. Made with tip from Flickr user Zepofan

An updated, better version of what I was trying for here.

Shot from atop the Tangasseri Point Lighthouse station, Quilon/ Kollam (08 °52.7’ N 76°34.0’ E)

 

This pano is from 10 vertically composed shots. Pano shots require plenty of planning ahead which unfortunately I couldn't. And to make matters worse, the lighthouse keeper insisted that I get the shots quickly and get off his lighthouse ASAP since he was in preparation mode to turn the lights on. Perhaps some more planning next time ;)

 

Nevertheless, please give your feedback on the shot. I deliberately included part of the railing to portray a sense of height. Does it work?

Kipróbáltam a lightbox-ot, aminek a leírását itt találtam: spottr.hu/2010/03/02/ikea-lightbox/

A homemade lightbox inspired by this Strobist post.

 

Cardboard box: salvaged from the recycling bin.

Tissue paper: taken from Prairie's present wrapping supplies (with her permission).

Tape: been rattling around in my desk drawers.

White posterboard: $0.50 from Rite Aid.

 

Total cost: $0.50.

 

Not bad!

for those that have asked about this.

 

Corona box with baking paper taped across front. i found the waxy surface diffuses light very evenly. the inside of the box is lined wit aluminum foil. i just cut a hole the size of the sb800 nose out of the base and used another bit of cardboard to reinforce the area.

This is The Predator in its initial action trying to eat the monumental catch. A few weeks ago I shot an Egret with a big fish too. I really wonder if this is the same bird. I only saw one around the bay and then at the atoll pool, basically at the same location as the one before.

 

The lighting and shooting angle was just spectacular, and the bird was too concentrated handling the fish. I kept a prudent distance shooting a few rounds at high speed, getting slowly as close as I could. At the end, I got away with some fantastic images out of this series.

I got a couple of requests to post a picture of the lightbox and details on how Todd made it. Thing is, Todd is the kind of guy who sees something he wants and figures out how to make it, using instructions only as a guideline. Sometimes he doesn't even use the instructions (for instance, last summer he saw an outdoor plant stand in a magazine. He figured he could build a better one for less money. One hour later, he did it.)

 

Keep in mind Todd had no idea what a lightbox was for. He saw one in one of those inflight magazines on our way to California and figured it was something I could use. Yesterday, he was in one of his "let's create something" moods so he decided to look up how to build your own lightbox (because I told him it was ridiculous to spend the kind of money they wanted for the one in the magazine).

 

These are the instructions he used as his guideline. For the most part, we winged it. We went to A.C. Moore craft store in the morning, looking for some of the supplies needed. They had no Bristol board, so we used poster board (cheaper). They had no fabric, so we substituted with white t-shirts (on sale for $3 each - we used three). We had intended on buying one of those pre-made boxes at a UPS store, but instead drove around the back of a row of stores and grabbed a good (non food-used) box out of the garbage (free!). We got the reflector lights at Home Depot, as well as the bulbs (it said to use n-vision 90 watt, but they didn't have that number, so we got one 75 watt soft and one 75 watt bright - you can always change these out - and the bulbs were the most expensive thing we had to buy).

 

Then he sort of went on his own from there. He rigged one of the lights using an old tripod we had in the and he put the other on the tripod from a telescope that was laying around in the garage (I forgot we even had that!). I experimented a lot with moving the lights around and taking them off and on the tripods. There are really a lot of different ways you can set this up, depending on how you want your shot to look - you can also change the color of the paper/bristol board you have inside - I haven't done that yet but I will probably experiment with that tonight. I'm also going to buy a few different watt bulbs and play around with the lighting.

 

There are a LOT of sites out there that will teach you how to get the most out of your lightbox, but I think the most important thing is adjusting your white balance on your camera settings so the pictures don't get a yellowish tone.

 

Also, think about the shape of your box before you make it. Mine is a shallow height, because I will use it mostly to take macros of small stuff like action figures. You might want to make yours taller, if you plan on taking photos of larger things. I might get Todd to make another box for me that's bigger.

 

Hope this helped (I'm trying to rush this out before I leave for work, so sorry if it's all over the place and not helpful at all), if you want more details email me, but definitely check out that link. The instructions are pretty cut and dry.

MI AMIGO LOUIS VUITTON. ESTE SI QUE NACIO CON LA FLOR EN EL FONDILLO COMO LA AUYAMA!!

 

Super famoso y de ojos galanos mi amigo de la Francia y de la fragancia feminista!!!

Sus carteras valen lo que cuesta un telefoto 500 mm y las mujeres hacen filas en su tienda, como lo pude ver con mis propios ojos en su tienda de Paris, donde llegué a pensar que estaban regalando las cosas jejeje.

Dolores de cabezas y divorcios

Tarjetas de creditos intubadas en cuidados intensivos y con curitas.

Mujeres ahorcadas por maridos furiosos jajajaja.

Carteras de 4,500 dolores de cabezas, solo por una insignia que dice LV y no se extrañen cuando la sacudan y no salga un céntimo de sus estómagos. En fin, el papaúpa del echavainismo de moda!!

 

Y para colmo mi amigo Vuitton tiene un harén apareándose con una a once hembras en un año, aunque en ocasiones se aparea con más de una hembra al mismo tiempo(es decir que también hace orgías el mardito). Los machos construyen un nido falso "de exposición" a nivel de suelo o cerca de este, que usará como trampa para impresionar a la hembra, la que atrae por medio de cantos. La hembras construyen los nidos reales, utilizando fibras vegetales que son tejidas en una bolsa con forma de pera.

 

En fin, como envidio a mi amigo Louis Vuitton jejejeje.

Ya ustedes pueden ver el gran parecido de esta especie con ese gran y famoso diseñador.Miren su color idéntico al de sus feas carteras pero que enloquecen a las mujeres!

Y no sé si son buenas, pues miren que el construye nidos falsos para engañar y atraer a las hembras jajaja

Si ustedes amigos quieren irse todos los fines de semanas a los montes de Dios y no dejar a sus mujeres con la chemba divoriá,solo tienen que pelar por sus carteras y sorprender a sus esposas con una baratonga carterita de 4,500 cohetes de los que no hieden(llamese dólares o los perfumados Euros que huelen a gardenias).

Si sus tarjetas de créditos no llegan al limite de lo que valen sus jabadas carteras, solo tienen que hablar conmigo y les prometo hablar con mi amigo Vuitton para una cuantiosa rebaja jajajajaja.

 

Un gran abrazo y aquí les dejo al amigo que nació con la flor donde la espalda perdió su nombre!!

It took me about 15 minutes to build this lightbox from scratch. It cost about $80 with the bulbs, shop lights, foam core board and white gaffer's tape (which took me all day to locate at $28 a roll). But this experiment worked well. I hope to use it to shoot products for any websites we design.

¿Se dice 'caja de luz' en castellano? Ni puta idea. Pero no es otra cosa que una caja de cartón forrada de papel de calco, que construí siguiendo este tutorial tan cojonudo de Strobist.

 

No es tan elegante como la original, pero cumple su cometido a las mil maravillas. Tiempo invertido, una hora. Coste: 6 euros. Animo a todos los fotógrafos amateur a que se hagan una.

 

Se pueden sacar fotos de catálogo como esta.

A DIY lightbox made following this outstanding Strobist tutorial. Easy, useful, cheap. Nothing but a carboard box with some sheets of tracing paper attached.

 

I encourage every amateur photographer out there to build one. It costed me an hour and less than $10. It's not as good-looking as the one featured in the tutorial, but it does the job wonderfully and allows me to take some pretty decent product shots with minimal hassle.

My DIY lightbox setup.

Home-made lightbox part one :) I'll probably finish him tomorrow

more lightbox. Ill reshoot some of these in natural light. there are 3 things i have noted.

 

1. lightboxes are useless unless you buy an expensive one, the light is uneven and bad

2. i need a macro lens

3. Backdrops are the key, im better working outside in the open at this

 

thoughts welcome

On explore September 26, 2007

Looking at Yosemite Valley, CA.

This was taken right before dusk. This camera was

set up by another photographer waiting for the sun to set.

I increased the brightness a little, no cropping.

View large size for more detail.

A new exhibition opened today at the Lightbox Gallery in Woking with sculptures and art inspired by those sculptures. I enjoyed the exhibition and also enjoyed the patterns created by the shadows and the Perspex display boxes. This is a Barbara Hepworth piece. One of the artists who had been invited to produce works turned up to see the gallery and it was interesting to talk to her about her drawings inspired by this Hepworth sculpture.

Some test photos using the new light box.

 

It's supposed to be color corrected to 5000K, whatever that means. Not sure my camera plays nice with it, but that's for other people to fix, not me.

Trying out different lighting and textures in the lightbox

Un altra prova de llum amb la lightbox :)

 

Otra prueba de luz con la lightbox :)

 

Another light test with the lightbox :)

 

Explored!!...sí, però ¿¿perquè?? No entenc a la burra :-D

The setup shot. I took lots of test shots before using the actual ice cream.

 

Lightbox consists of an old UHAUL box (used to hold my México stuff, as you can see), gift wrap tissue paper and pink wrapping paper for the backdrop. The lights are two walmart lamps that were $7 each. Total cost? $18.
