So anyway adding more to the DIY lightbox topic, I found the walls made from white tissue x2 are very thin and fragile so im going to try to update it next week when i have time with some tracing paper or greaseproof paper and take some test shots to see if there is any sort of colour cast or any problems.
The lightbox is fun to use and I have a queue of items that need to be photographed so if anyone is watching my Flickr stream i will say sorry now as it may get a little lightbox heavy as i play with the materials its made from and the actual lightsources used for illumination.
The lego picture is rather grey at one side due to the single lightsource but overall im happy with how this first image turned out.

I thought i would get off my lazy behind and make a lightbox with the basic design coming from Strobist.com
Mine is very similar and gives nice results ready to shift some stuff that I no longer use with a view to buying some nice new Lee ND filters.
Hopefully the photographs will make people spend more as they look better and it only cost me about £3 as I had most of the items anyway so its a win win situation.
The Sigma lens im selling is a great lens if you have plenty of light or you compensate to allow for it, Sharp and light enough to carry about all day for a walk around lens.

So people make yourself a light box even if its just to have a play about with as its fun and cheap to do and you never know when you might need to take a few "product/stock" shots.
