Question About Commercial Option for Light Tents versus DIY
If I were to go purchase a light tent instead of building my own, what brands should I be looking at? I see Cowboy Studio and some other ones. It would be nice to be collapsible for portability.
Thank you in advance for any assistance with this query.Camera - Canon 1000D | Lenses - Manual Old Glass | Style - High ISO Pictorialism
In regards to learning about the technical aspects of a camera before learning composition and lighting:
"You can learn how to tie a complex knot, fold gift wrap perfectly and tape it all shut like no one's business but if inside that box is a piece of poop, all you have done is learn how to fancy-wrap a piece of poop."

I can't say that I know much about those light tents, but one thing to be aware of, is that cheap photography gear may not have truly color neutral fabric. I may look white to us, but may introduce a color cast when photographed under certain lighting.
For that reason, I'd tend to look at a brand that has been selling photo gear for a while and that has a good reputation.There's no correlation between creativity and equipment ownership. None. Zilch. Nada. Actually, as the artist gets more into his thing, and as he gets more successful, his number of tools tends to go down. He knows what works for him. Expending mental energy on stuff wastes time.
