New light box = gun pics.

I have a bunch of 35mm photo equipment. I really haven't tried to figure out the digital except point and shoot. I need to come into the 21st century I guess.

Verne, I hope you don't mind but I'd like to share a similarly made box design, too. This ain't mine, it's just a link I've kept saved in case of times like this. The link further discusses shadowing and reflection issues, etc.

Almost forgot....

THIS PAGE shows some really cool mirror reflection

Turns into this:

It's amazing what black granite/ marble and some colored cardboard will do.

Look! You built a Magic box. You took a picture of your own camera!

Just kidding, I've got my box built (thanks Verne!) and am still experimenting with the Nikon settings, proper poses, etc.

Share all you want.

After building this one I have realized some areas for improvement. More than likely going to turn it on its side and make it wider. Height isn't an issue but the width is. I saw one the other day made out of a refrigerator box. It had two sets of the construction lights with three lights on each across the top and one at each end. Was huge. Curious to how well it works. Might try one at some point.

Here are some more from me.

Nice turn out!

Here is one of mine, from way back in the day with my old D40. I have since moved to a D300 and much better quality glass.

I HAVE to Tag this thread!
