Light box

Learning how to take good photographs is going to be an ongoing journey for me.

After some research, I decided to make a light box.




First I bought a tripod so I can get clear photos (cute huh!? Now the camera has legs!)...


I cut three sides out of a cardboard box and lined the inside of the box with white paper. 

Then I cut a piece of board I bought at the art supplies shop to size so it would cover the back and bottom of the box. 

I used lots of glue and flexed it into place so there is a curve at the back/bottom of the light box.


I used double sided mounting tape to attach white cloth over the cut away sides....taa daa!

 
Now to add the light source and camera (any advice on what provides a good light source? I used the lamp I had on hand)....


But does it work?


Bludnut says...hell yeah!!


Not bad for a first attempt if I don't say so!


Thanks to the talented friends who've tutored me since the great introduction I received during Make Craft Your Business. Ideas? Suggestions?
