DIY Lightbox

seems nivlo beat me to it...

You can pick up a shooting cube/light tent pretty cheap and then go outside and activate the security light.

You get the idea...

But where's the fun in that. Plus my DIY one used a garment carrier bag cut up for side panels girlfriend screamed when her suit was just left creased up on the bed.!!! You don't get that reaction from maplins or eBay !!!!!
 
When you have rebuilt the light box for the umpteenth time it won't be fun, nobody will care and then your girlfriend will leave you. That's why those pop up light cubes are so good, you can make like a lampshade when she's having a moan.


...trouble is you can't see the punch coming....ooooffff.
 
 
JEWELS????

I have to do something with my light situation as well, great idea Steve. Soft, reddish, warm or flash too bright is frustrating. Also, can somone lead me to instructions on how to post bigger pictures? Any site that can easily take high meg photos and reduce to size acceptable for posing on TSR?

Again, wonderful project.

If you can you might want to reduce the camera resolution to something more reasonable to handle not forgetting screen res won't need be anything higher than 100dpi and print res doesn't really need to be more than 300dpi depending on print size.

You now have to sign up to Image shack but the tutorial below is still applicable.
