Description
Just playing with a home-made lightbox for taking up close photos of small items. Basically I plan on selling off a bit of old junk, and thought this contraption might be useful for making things more presentable. I found instructions online at this website: http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html
I still need to figure some things out and make adjustments, but at least I have the box mostly ready to use. Also a hint for taping the tissue paper on the sides: use short little pieces to do the opposite corners first, then little short pieces in the centers of the sides. Makes the final step of taping all the way across a lot easier and you can adjust for taughtness first. I'm also considering using white plastic trash bags instead of tissue paper in the future, so that might be an option.
Next time I might use better lighting, I'll probably wait for daylight and just use what comes naturally.

Thanks for showing the technique! I've known about this, but haven't tried it yet. You've gotten a great result!
