Im getting pretty obsessed with my new light box. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

Cool shot! Very fun I'm actually quite impressed with how you managed to get the clear glass looking so good. Care to share your trick?

Is it just my monitor, or does all the glasses, and the shadow have a pinkish tint?

Wow! love this with all of them together!

did you use the at home version of your light box that they gave the instructions to a few days ago? or did you buy a new one?

I think this might be your monitor. I have two and one monitor (the better of the two) does not have any pink tint in the glass. The other, although, has the same symptoms as your monitor. Anyone know any tricks on how to match the colour on both monitors correctly?

I'm also curious to know if you made the box yourself.

I did make it myself. Although, I'm not always getting the colors I want like the white on the paper. I guess its because I'm using an incandescent bulb but I shoot in RAW so I can fix it. Also, I didn't use fabric like the directions said I just used some sketch paper I got at Walmart. Everything seems to be turning out alright though. My only problem is trying to get the light more even. I guess fabric on the top would help but my light isn't bright enough. Any suggestions?

how about putting the light box on a glass top and adding light underneath the glass...

i just calibrated my monitor this week, and i do see a tinge of pink...could be from the light source? and no preset wb?

I really like these pictures. They show great colors and are very dynamic. When I first saw these pictures, I thought "man! I want to go home and try this one!" An extremely simple concept with impressive results. Thanks for sharing.

And, via my monitor, I don't see any pink in the glasses.

Instead of the regular incandescent lamp, maybe you can get a 500W bright hot light (tungsten/halogen). It usually produces yellow light, but there is version with a blue tint, which produces white light. On the other hand, you can just use one of the blue filters in photoshop to correct the yellow cast. To control light intensity. you just move the light closer or farther from the target area.

I really like this shot, esp how you've put the four glasses together like that. Putting together my own lightbox would be a neat project - seeing pics like this might just be enough to get my act together to finally do something like this.

The swirling colours in the glass would also make for some interesting macro shots as well...

Thanks for sharing
