Thread: Lightboxes - Pirate style!

I've had a few guys ask about how I take my photos, so I thought I'd throw up some photos of my "lightboxes."

The first two pics show my old setup - a wall mounted cabinet in my bathroom. It worked pretty well except
a) the light source was the sun through a frosted window, which only worked when it was sunny... on that side of my apt
b) I store some of my shaving stuff there, so it required rearranging.

The second two photos show my current setup (the first from afar, the second is the shot set up in the first photo) - the bottom of a night table (elevated on a cabinet type thing) and a desktop lamp. Since the whole inside of the nightstand is white, it works quite well for providing diffuse light. I would like it a bit brighter, but I'm not complaining (I shoot at 1/30 and f5.6 - I don't mind hand holding at 1/30, but I would like a little more depth of field).
