Light Box For your forum photos

[Gasman]

Show what you use to take your SOTD or Razors pics you post up on the site.
Some guys manage to make beautiful photos in the SOTD and others are happy to just grab up the phone and snap a quick pic on the workbench and post it. Nothing wrong with either way. So as was suggested, here is a thread to show how you go about taking your pics.

I only have a cell phone with a camera and have a toy fuel tanker truck I put in the background of my pics. My tell, as they say. Been doing it this way for over a year now. Propping up my razors against the truck but I wanted to do a bit better. Getting rid of the light shining off of the blade but still getting the shine of the scales and such. So I had asked a couple guys about how they take pics. Then after a little surfing of the web, I came up with this plastic tub that has frosted clear sides. After trying a few things and colors I found that the frosted plastic wasn't enough so I found some off-white linen and lined the insides of the box. Light shines thru the linen and I'm getting much better pics now. I still need to work on it a bit more but I'm getting higher quality photos now. Here is my setup...




And how my pics turn out...



So show off your ideas and share in this ability to help others to make a light box and get better pics.
