I have had several people ask me about my photos recently, so I have decided to share my good fortune to stumble upon some information about taking photos of small items like jewelry. I am so amazed at the difference between my photos now and photos before I discovered the Light box. What a wonderful tool this is, you don't have to wait for wonderful weather anymore nor do you have to have an elaborate set up to take your photos:) If you can find a sturdy cardboard box (1 to 2 foot square) and some tissue paper(or muslin material) and use a glue or a glue gun, it is going to take you 15 or 20 minutes to create one of the most wonderful tools for photographing your jewelry and small items. I personally use 3 lights, one at the top and one on each side of the box, but I have seen other people use just one bright light and it works out. My lights are just el cheapo clamp lights from any home improvement store and I have purchased "daylight" indoor spotlights to put in them.<br />I love this little gem so much, that I am going to get my hubby to build me one out of wood scraps and I will get some muslin and staple to the outside of it.<br /></span></span></span><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.4em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;"><img src="http://api.ning.com/files/lq7AHwQKdtje*rqsjUCB51cc*PlPJUiZMabzOImAKnQ_/ms3strobistlightbox.jpg" alt="" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-color: initial; max-width: 721px; margin-top: 4px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; height: auto; " /></span></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;">image credit: </span></span></span><a href="http://www.strobistblogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;">www.strobistblogspot.com</span></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;"><br /><br />Information, pictures, video on the subject can be found by clicking<br /></span></span></span><a href="http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-studio.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;">HERE</span></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#663333;"><br /><br />Happy building and joyous picture taking!<br />Gina</span></span></span></div><p class="small" id="tagsList" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.4em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; font-size: 1.1em; clear: both; "><br /></p></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5949033379316695977-7666215704022217109?l=chrysalisdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chrysalis Designshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08553891947827223272noreply@blogger.com0
