Default Lightbox Results

Since I knew I was going to be confined to the house this evening I decided to pick up some materials to make a DIY lightbox yesterday. These are the results. I added a vignette with gimp (have I mentioned that I love "The Gimp") to the first one then realized that all of them had their own natural one - so I left them as is. As always thanks for viewing.

Here is the link Homemade Light Box for Product Photography » StudioLighting.net
Half way during the process my better half informed me that Target sells tri-fold foam core so if you can find a sheet of that that will cut the assembly time down substantially. I found it easier if you do not try to cut thru the foam core in one swipe. Make one pass half way thru the board along your straight edge, fold slightly, then complete the cut. I also didn't find any white masking - normal masking works just fine.

As always - thanks for viewing guys.
