Ok, so I finally made this lightbox found here: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-Inexpensive-Photography-Lightbox

and I am really impressed with the photos.... all I did was crop and use auto levels, and wow! I'm excited to start taking new photos of all my items!

Re: Really Impressed!

Katie I used the same tutorial to make my lightbox, it was really easy to make. I like natural light better, but this works well when you can't get natural light.

Here's one of my photos using it

Have fun taking new photos.

Re: Really Impressed!

Thank you!

I'm so excited right now. Hah... guess I should focus that energy on more pictures! :)

Wanda - That looks fantastic! I definitely can't use natural light right now, as there are still several inches of snow on the ground.

Re: Really Impressed!

Lightbox ftw!

But yeah, only good for small items. You can make bigger ones, of course, but sometimes it's just not practical.

I'm trying to figure out a way to make a diffuser screen on the cheap for a regular floor lamp. That's what we really need for larger items.... I found the perfect material, I just have to figure out how to attach it to the light....
