Light Box

First, thanks to Kevlarman for giving me that link to that homemade light box in an earlier thread (link).

So I made a lightbox out of PVC pipe, a white twin flat sheet, some poster board, and a couple cheapo-depot lamps. It is for taking pictures of video cards.

Here is the lightbox:

Here is a sample photo from the way I used to take these pictures:

And here is a sample photo taken with the lightbox:

I'm pretty happy with the results so far, and I'm still tweaking things, so I expect they'll improve even more.

It just goes to show, lighting is EVERYTHING.

Yes it is. Nice work n making the box.

Nice. I'll have to make my own little light box and give it a try... I didnt think that would have made such a difference. Good work.

Good job. I made something similar once using some flexible PVC, a shower curtain and some hot lamps.

Looks like you might want to lower your ISO considerably now that you have sufficient lighting.

It was on Auto before, but the lowest setting is 80. I'll try it.
