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.
I've always wanted to build a lightbox and finally followed through today using Bill Huber's excellent directions.
The picture shows the setup for this shot.
DIY lightbox made from a cardboard box with the top and sides removed and replaced with tracing paper (architects drawing paper). Inside is a single piece of white paper.
In this photo I used a normal table lamp and a halogen kitchen light for lighting. I then did a custom WB before shooting a few "test" shots.
I would now use CFL lighting to light this or a few flashes.

This retail store used lightboxes with graphics for their outdoor-facing window display.

This was made in the light box with the Bristol board removed. The tea pots were on a Black Granite tile, the background is the coated hardboard I used for a back.

Here's the PVC Lightbox I made. It's made from 1/2" PVC pipe and fittings.

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.
