kardar2 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hello All, Well I made a light box out of cardboard awhile back........Ohhh no !! now I need a bigger one but where in earth am I going to store it. Well I was thinking of making one out of plywood and having the inside painted with (?) gloss enamel paint or flat paint ? and on the sides small windows for lighting. I was thinking of putting the box on wheels so I could roll it around the garage. The front would have a door that swings up and I would have a light mounted inside up on top of door. Well what do you guys think? Thanks for the input...Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 How about this .... take and use old screen panels... take out the screen replace it with white cloth it would take 4 to make the box and when done you could easily disassemble it into the 4 flat panels and store them till you need them again.

Travis Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 How big of projects are you photographing? Once you get beyond a certain size, you might want to consider putting together a small light kit. If you use compact florescent bulbs, you can use wax paper, tracing paper, or sheer curtains to diffuse the light. You can also bounce light off white foam core. Here's a video on making a small soft box. This person is using it for video production, but it works just as well for photography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
