Jocke, you've got me hooked and buying goodies.
i've just bought a light box and lights. its a soft light tent and the 2 lights are 5400 kelvins so as near to daylight as possible. all for a very good price i think.
i considered making my own box, but i'd have to travel miles to buy the plexi glass and add that to the time to make it i thought that buying the kit would be easier.
i've also bought a new tabletop tripod as my current one is ok for my sony cybershot but no good for my fuji S5600. that brings me to another problem i face. the sony will focus up to 1 cm from object, the Fuji has a macro focus of 9cm. i do have a screw on macro lense for the fuji which effectively quadruples the pic and it has a lot more manual settings. which one do i practise on?
best
Graham

Hi Jocke, thank you for letting us have a glance into your "laboratory"! May I ask you for some details regarding this setup? - The "light box" you are using, is it a DIY-construction, like cardboard and glossy lacquery ? Or is is something totally differ...
Ok Martin I will try to explain..........
The "box" is a DIY made of white acrylic "Plexiglass". That is a great material and the only you have to thinking about is the heat from the spotlights. The spotlights is photolights with a bulb that have 3200 kelvin color temperature. Then I point the li...
thanks Jocke, i've got the camera and tripod, just need lightbox
it seems that lighting is all important in a good shot. one thing that pules me though is if your shining light at inside top of box why dont you get shadow from the camera? Graham
