Finally got my lightbox set up.

Well after having the tools for a few days i finally had 10 minutes to myself and so set it up.
OK, its not the best in the World, but it did only cost me £45 in total and £30 of that was on the 2 lights from Argos.

As you can see i got the camera setup on thge tripod facing the lightbox which is 80cmx80cmx80.
I had a white drape fix at teh top at teh back and i put stuff on the drape right at the front to blur the background.

I then attached 2 Argos lamps to the table either side (only got one in the pics, but i have 2) and they shine either from the top or from the sides, depending on the shot. In some shots i used my 430EX wirelessly to light up parts of the background, or just to get more light.

Below those shots are a few of my examples.
They were pretty much the first ones i did and i have hardly changed them in PS at all (bit of Levels here and there)

I am still learning, so if anyone has any tips on good lightbox shots i would appreciate it :









And for the shots of anything i could get my hands on :









Gonna give it anotehr run in the next couple of days. Its big enough to fit my little lad, but think thats a bit optimistic at the moment.
