Default Lightbox using storage cubes from Spotlight

I was in spotlight the other day I found these storage cubes.

$49



Here is one cube made up with single light source from the top. Also included A2 paper cut to size which fits in snuggly without any tape.



Here is a quick and dirty shot(with levels and white balance adjustment) showing 1 light source from the top(I think its a 18watt candle halogen). You could add more light sources on the sides and get great results IMO



No bad for $50.

Yeh for $50 it's not that big or that great an alternative. Also not as easy to put away. But it can be use for other purpose I guess.
