Made a light box!

[kundalini]

83 dollars! lol um nope, not worth it! I'm not even charging her 83 dollars!

Do you realize how large 42"x62" is? I purchased the smaller 31"x43". It is not paper. It is a high quality photographic vinyl material. It is actually too large for my light tent and I really considered cutting it down to fit. I'm glad I had second thoughts.

Only the sweep......

​

YMMV​

Hi - thanks for posting examples everyone.

I have also seen examples where shots were taken on a highly reflective black surface. Could someone tell me what this is called so I can google it properly? I'm into putting something together for my macro work - kundalini's colapsable light tent looks just the ticket - but I was also looking for this black surface material as well.

Thanks - nice work on those DIY boxes.

I have a 12"x12" stone tile from Lowes. There is a very faint pattern in the tile, so it's not completely black but easily made so in post.
