Homemade “studio”
Mar 13, 2007 DIY, Learning, Macro, Resources
Not much time lately to update and write, but I had to make time to write about this. I, as a hobbyist, always look for great ideas and things to make it easier and cheaper to have photography as a hobby. One thing I’ve realized is VERY important is lighting. No light, no shot. I have no budget for professional lighting, so for now I’m using a builders lamp and this has given good results this far.
Catching up on lost time online today, I of course stopped by PhotoCritic.org. Found a link to this article, and that’s really a big help for me. Not that I have much to photograph, but it’ll make my learning process simpler.
Basically it shows how you can build a light-tent using:
- Duct tape
- Cardboard box
- White copier paper
- Paper towels
- Scissors/razor
- Lamp
If you’re into macro photography and/or similar photography, I strongly suggest taking a look at this article.
