My light box!



I finally got round to making a light box following the excellent instructions in Rosie's blog.  My box should have been a bit bigger but as I often shoot in macro it does just fine.  As we have two large windows at each end of the lounge I didn't use any lights and it seemed to work all right.  I may have to use lights if it is a dull day, but so far I think I got away with it.  Edited in LR and Elements, no textures.

  1. Thanks for sharing the post on how to make a light box. I've never used one and often wondered how one got shots like that with a white background. Your photos came out beautifully. Have a great week.

  3. My son helped me make one a couple of weeks ago. I was glad to read Rosie's tips on the white background as I haven't been able to get quite the right white that I'd like. Thanks for sharing this with us. The flower is striking.

  6. Congratulations on your light box, Julia.
    You will find so many uses for it, especially when the weather is less than favorable.

    Happy day to you!

  12. A very clever and simple idea. Love the flower, too. I am having problems photographing things in my new ARTHaven because I always seem to cast a shadow across what I am doing when I bring the camera in close. Maybe this is the way forward!
