Light Box




Lighting is a big part of photography. I built myself a small light box for taking some photographs of smaller items. A light box is a controlled light environment. Mine is essentially a box cut out on three sides with thin white paper. On each side I have two five hundred watt lights. The paper difuses the light when it travels through it, eliminating a lot of shadows.


In any case, I started looking around the house for small things to photograph. One of the things that I think came out looking fairly decent are some shots of a camera lens and cap. I'm also posting one of a tennis ball, which I thought looked pretty sharp.


Enjoy, or don't.
