The Photo Light Box

Finally...

Picked up the daylight bulbs and now the pictures are much better. Now if I can figure out how to keep my reflection out of the picture, I'll be all set.

I used an old cardboard box 15" x 15" x 12" tall.  I lined the inside with tissue paper.  I later added a piece of white poster board that I curved and slipped in. That eliminated the seam that sometimes showed on the bottom back of the box. 

I cut two little holes on either side for the lights. I have a swing arm lamp on a stand on one side,

and an inexpensive clip on lamp on the other.  I already had both lamps.

The hole is about the size of the lamp openings but they can be bigger.

The front of the box.  As you can see I didn't go for appearance over function...

The new pictures of my ornaments are much better. I'm going to play a bit more with flash vs no flash, and other things, but for now I'm quite happy. (click on picture to enlarge)

 

I still have four wonderful commentors to visit.  See you later...
