Photography Setups and Discussion

If they are just too dark, try adjusting the gamma correction. In IrfanView you can find it in the adjust colours settings.
Better lighting would of course be ideal.

I just came across this video how to make your own photo-box and thought I'd share it with you:

Thanks origami_8 !

Óscar Osorio had also taught how to make a light box in 4 Esquinas magazine, although it's all in Spanish: http://revista4esquinas.blogspot.com.co ... s-no8.html

I recently built a small photo setup that is simple for lazy people like me. I took a cardboard box and removed the top and front, then cut out large holes on the sides and replaced it with tracing paper. I curved a piece of printer paper on the back wall, and I was done in less than 20 minutes. I placed the box on my kitchen counter under an tungsten lightbulb, adjusted my camera, and didn't bother to use any other lights.


It works well considering how little effort I put into it but is flimsy and too small for anything larger than an apple.

What is the cutting of the sides and the replacement with tracing paper for?

I don't think I really needed it but if I were to use extra lights it helps make it not as bright. If I had just cut out the holes and didn't use the tracing paper it would create glare and make the model shiny.
