Hi guys =) Here are the pictures of my Do-It-Yourself lightbox, "Crappier", and some pictures taken with it.
I played with some different camera settings and lamp positions, and I think it gets the job done. The setup was very easy, I bought a 27 watt Daylight lamp, which is 1500 lumens (The output looks like 140 watt) and used it with a adjustable table lamp. I extracted parts from the sides and from the top of the cardboard box, and covered the windows with sheets of paper. I covered the background with paper aswell and I was done. The whole setup took me about 30 minutes.
Now, here are some pictures of my storage, because some people wanted to see it =)
My plastic drawer:
The next manicure is going to be one of my favorites! Stay tuned! =)
That lightbox is awesome, I need to set up something like that!
ReplyDeleteit's really easy as pie =) the key point is using the light indirectly, I figured that out just today!
ReplyDeleteLove the lightbox! Unfortunately my hubby says I take up too much space already so no lightbox for me :(
ReplyDeleteaww... but you can make a foldable version! you can cut the edges with a knife and fold the sides over each other =) how about that?
ReplyDeletewow, you're awesome - I'm totally coping this!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brooke =) I got the idea from Nihrida =)
ReplyDeletehehe, I have the laziest version of a lightbox ever but it works.
ReplyDeleteI love the manicure!
Thank you Andreia =) Without the lightbox it was so hard to capture the colors in the evening. (That's when I do my manicures!)
ReplyDeleteI have to get my hands on Gorgeous next time I visit Germany, it's beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteCrappier does an awesome job!
Gorgeous looks stunning on you Deniz! <3 Love your Valentine's day manicure!
ReplyDeleteCrappier looks cute! I need a good Crappier soon too but I also don't have the space for one. A foldable sounds great though. :)
Thank you chocaddict =) Gorgeous is gorgeous, indeed!
ReplyDeleteHey Jen, thank you =DDD I suggest you to take 30 minutes and make one, it's worth it =)))
Nice stash!
ReplyDeleteI love Gorgeous on you, very pretty.
Thank you Kirsten =)
ReplyDeletedeniz, the pics are not displaying! i think you have a problem with photbucket, nags about bandwidth exceeded!
ReplyDeleteThe bandwidth resets today, everything should be fine by now =)
ReplyDeleteI like your new lightbox pretty nice!, and your big container pencil design it's adorable ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lightbox tips - I must get myself one of those when we're back in the 'real' house
ReplyDeleteThank you Arie and Cali =) A cardboard lightbox is the best thing invented since grilled cheese sandwich =D
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you soooo much for this info! I can definitely make this. Much friendlier to the budget than purchasing a lightbox off Ebay. :)
