Home Made Light Box
"Make me proud... or at leat less ashamed."
Grandpa Simpson
First, let me say, I did not come up with these instructions myself. Some one posted this tutorial in a comm. I am in, and I have wanted to try it out. The bosses left early so I had some time on my hands today.
Start Time: 4:55
1.
Get a box
I got one, for free, from our shipping dept.
2.
Trace the 2 parellel sides of the box onto posterboard
I did pay for the posterboard, so far I spent $.50
3.
ace the side that will be the top.
4. Cut out the traced pieces.
5.
Glu ( I didn't have glu, only scotch tape) the posterboard to the inside of the box.
5b.
6.
(Hard to explain) Trace the two sides left of the box, continualy.
Trace one side, then roll it o ver and continue to trace the next side. I needed another piece of posterboard, so my cost is up to $1 now.
7.Cut it out.
8.
Tape the piece inside.
Don't let it bend at the right angle, kind of curve it.
And you're done.
End Time 5:18
This is a light box and I didn't have the right kind of light, a desk lap with no shade pointed directly at it. But you can still tell the differance.
With Flash
with out flash
No flash, crappy lamp
No flash, setting on macro
With a little time it culd be a lot better. This could helppeople posting pictures of stuff for ebay or whatever.
