Our Ghetto Light Box!
Cho has super crappy pictures. Mine are crappy as well, but not as bad as hers (in my point of view)
We have crappy pictures because:
1. We don't have a professional camera, we just use our cellphone
2. We have crappy lighting
I can't really just go out and buy an expensive camera, but we can make better lighting.
Researched online for how to make a light box. Finally, here it is!
Cho found a cardboard box lying around in the dump...or something close to the trash...the box itself is in a pretty bad condition...It's all bent and soft....
We cut out 3 squares from the top and the 2 sides. Stuck rice paper to the squares and then got a cheap lamp to shine on the top! The only thing that cost us money here is the lamp and the bulb. Which is about $12US. Not too bad. Now I can wince less at Cho's pics.
Here is an example pic!

That is such a good idea! That would be fantastic for taking final product photos for my tutorial. You've inspired me to make one ^^.
ReplyDeleteHowever, have you ever thought of just finding a pretty pillow or something to be your background?
For example: http://i.imgur.com/Wmi76.jpg
It may serve to be a simple alternative when/if the lightbox gives you trouble :)
ooo!
DeleteThat's a good idea!
I'll give it a try some time...since our light box isn't very sturdy. I think it'll fall apart anytime soon.
I'll try this! Good idea ^.^
ReplyDeleteafter i made this, i realized a light box online is only about $5USD....
