GungaDin Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Any ideas for cheap lighting of a couple of leather phone pouches? Camera is a basic Nikon 50 Thanks. Product sample: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klyph Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Neon lightbulbs are great. Use 4-6 of them in conjunction with a cloth "tent" to diffuse direct lighting. I saw a few at the Photo Fair and made a makeshift set at home... works perfectly. Also, a white acrylic background makes things more professional, you can get them at any art supplies store in Thailand and add a lamp underneath so there are no shadows.

Klyph Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yeee! You're welcome! Took me a while to get it perfect. If neon isn't right, sunlight is also your cheapest natural resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 This topic got me thinking how useful a light box would be for my work. I sometimes need to take photos of some of my design work for reports or publications and this looks perfect. Did some looking around and found a couple of more sites with DIY light boxes. http://www.pbase.com/wlhuber/light_box_light_tent http://www.studiolighting.net/homemade-lig...ct-photography/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
