Macro Photo Studio!

a.k.a. Cardboard Light Box!

Work in Progress, but thought this was a neat little (free) project.
Thanks to this helpful link: http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html I decided to try and make my own as well - figured it would make some ebay photos look a little clearer then thrown on my bed for a quick photo.

I used an old Zappos Box (already white!), some leftover tracing paper, and tape. Voila! Purchased an 88cent piece of poster board to place inside of the box, and now just playing with lighting.

Here's my box:














Nothing too fancy really.

First attempted picture - just a couple starwars miniatures, not great quality as I used no lights to test:














I can't wait to get lighting on the sides of the box to brighten this up! Yay!
