OT: Home Made Lightbox
« on: September 09, 2008, 14:46:15 PM »
Thought I'd have a go at making a lightbox to mess around with. Here it is.



Took a couple of goes to get the lighting right and stuff, but I think I've finally cracked it;

The one of the sombrio wallet is really good.
The others not so as they are quite shiny, reflective objects.
No fault of your own though (Y)
Nice work.

Looks good , But if the can had just been taken out of the fridge and had water drops all over it would look good.

Just alter the white balance to get rid of the yellow tint. And yes, Flickr.

Thanks all.  Grin

Yeah, ditto. Love the monster energy can (you are a sucker to the marketing!  Wink) though it may be cropped a little too tight on the right

Nice! DOF is cool on the can.

CTO gel (or an orange Sainsbury's placcy bag) over your flash and that'll help balance the flash temperature with the tungsten lightbulb.  Wink
