Vickie Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Here is the link I followed: http://digital-photography-school.com/how-...sive-light-tent Mine is a bit cruder the the one in the link as I am careless & impatient :rolleyes: but it seems to be working. I think I will have a go at making one a bit bigger when I get a bigger box. I also need something a bit better for my backing so will get something when I am next at the shops.

Luke W Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That's cool Vickie - what are you gunna use it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I am dabbling in stock photography. I hardly ever take stock oriented images, so need something to control lighting and allow isolations. I'm finding the high standards needed to get images accepted is putting me on a whole new learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That is pretty cool and simple to make too. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Looks like it would be fun to make! I have made my own reflector for indoor shots (not that I do many) by using Al foil and an old baking tray. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo d'état Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Wow, what a nifty idea! Vickie have you tried it out yet? Any pics to show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 not many that I'm not embarrassed to show . Here is one I took this morning of a spinning top. I still have a long way to go...but better than I cold have done without my homemade contraption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumCorner Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 ....Here is one I took this morning ... Sweet work. I'll have to get my a into gear with mine (along with the scooter). I was given a store-bought light tent and reflectors, the reasonably cheap Hong Kong ones off e-bay. Good intentions but haven't much used them. And I hadn't even thought of stock - more small product and industrial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Thanks, I guess I could fix it up with PS...but the aim is to not have to do that. Here is another attempt, I think it's a bit better technically but I like the other one better conceptually Edited March 20, 2009 by Vickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo d'état Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Nice work Vickie! I like the spinning top better too. How many light sources are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Just 2 light sources, it's all I have. They are 150W globes on adjustable stands. well, I should say all I had. I now have one after Shine knocked one of the stands over this morning & smashed the globe ). I am going to try to buy a couple more this week.
