DIY lightbox

Slowly getting into light now. It's an inevitable part of the process. One thing that plagued me the most about taking photos indoors (other than horrible lighting) is that gawd awful yellow tinge to all my photos. It's not something that can be fixed with white balance either D:

Came across this a few weeks ago and had a go at it this weekend.
Total material costs: $0!
Having lovely lighting: Priceless

It's abit rustic looking...




Some photos taken with the box


unfortunately the lightbox does not solve my retarded focus problem...




Of course it's limited to photography within the box so maybe I will need to make a larger one soon...

Next step... a softbox! and the indoor world is my oyster.
Just need to get a flash.

  2. you just put a piece of white paper or w/e colour as the base inside the box, then put the box under some light and voila!
