My DIY lightbox C&C more than welcome...

[Pablojinko]

I saw a similar thread a few days ago but I wanted to share my own approach to the lightbox... I made it myself with a total of 35$CAD

This are the first shots I made, using only my speedlite flash (I just got my 10$ clip lamps from Home Depot... pix to come), and I brighten them a little in PS CS4

Let me know what you think

I followed this guide DIY Lightbox Light Box for Product Photography | jyoseph.com

And I found the same lights this weekend at Home Depot... Very easy, although the box is bigger than I thought lol... Trying to figure out where to put it while not using it

I went through a few of the DIY light tents but became frustrated with the bulk and if I looked at it wrong, the tissue paper would tear. I shoot pottery for a friend of mine and transporting it was a PITA.

I eventually went with a 28" Alzo Light Tent for ~$50.

I was just contacted yesterday to do some product shots for a company that manufactures strain gauges. Not exciting or sexy, but they pay. Hopefully I can get them shot this week.
