I built a lightbox!
Hi guys,
I wasn't quite sure where to put this, but i suppose the objects fit into this category.
I built myself a lightbox recently, fashioned out of an old cardboard box.
Here are a couple of quick shots after a few minutes of playing around with it.

Thanks Azz.
I've got 3 small 300w lamps that I use for lighting
One on each side, and one from above.

I built one myself a while ago - but I still need to get lights for it 
I'm a bit rubbish and have bene using on camera flash with it - which works OK for what I wanted to do with it (the rat photos on the site).
Well done though - and those pics are lovely!

Great results!
So talk me through this! What is a lightbox and how did you make it?
With winter approaching and the school term starting again most of my photography will end up being at home in the evenings so something like this will be perfect!

[quote=little me;84729]Great results!

Here is a great link to a fairly easy to build light box.
http://www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=82
As you can see, you can gain fantastic results with very little costs.
I didn't follow this particular link, but the principles are basically the same.
I've also got various colours of card, for different results. I hope to post more soon.

Thanks for the link.
I reckon I could do that!
but before I build one, I have been offered the load of a light tent. Will that be the same?
Then onto lighting. Would I need specialised lights or will lamps do?

I love it and have so far snapped most things in my house that fit inside!
