Jadryga Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 ...like me! This will definitely come in handy for product photos. I'm (or rather, DH by proxy) planning to make one of these, so just thought I'd share http://photodoto.com/index.php/2006/09/15/create-your-own-light-box/http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.htmlThere's also how to make a poor man's tripod http://www.jakeludington.com/project_studio/20040723_diy_bottle_cap_tripod.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaVida Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 ok, that tripod is too much..*l*...I'll pass.... wow, I wonder how they came up with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I made my own light box using an empty cardboard box. I cut out the front and painted it with a white ultra light semi gloss paint I already had in my garage. Didn't cost me a thing. Works great! It's amazing what you can do when you are on a tight budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I mentioned on the temp board that my husband picked me up the kit from walmart (49 something dollars) and it comes with tripod, lights, well everything and I have to say it's one of the best investments I've made. Plus, I suck at coming up with making things on my own lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravo5 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Where did he find the kit at Wal-Mart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelleyBean Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Where did he find the kit at Wal-Mart?It was in the section where the cameras are, back where you can turn film in, or put your memory card in and print your own pics etc. He said in our store, it was right beside where there were some cases for cameras and camera equipment.

bravo5 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Cool thanks, I'm headed to Walmart today anyway so I'll take a look! Did it have a light tent/box too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinpa Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Great instructions! Thanks for posting that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravo5 Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Found the kit at Wal-Mart! Not a bad little kit. It's a LOT smaller than my last light tent, but will work for most of my single items! When I have some extra time on my hands I'll build a bigger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Night Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks for the links! I really need a tripod and the "PepsiPod" looks like something I might be able to do until I get a real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
