Well, This is what happens when I get bored.

[Alfonzo]

Saturday afternoon, 3pm. Start to think about photography. Clouds are rickrolling in, so I can't really go outside with the camera. I turned to OCAU, and remembered this thread about a ghetto light box.

Half an hour, a pocket knife, a box, a few sheets of paper and some baking paper later...



And some of the results:





Stuff I learned:

* A3 paper would be much much better to make a decent background with - as you see in the first picture there's some A4 in use there, 3 sheets in actual fact - but the edges are not very bend friendly. I ended up using another two sheets in 'portrait' mode, and just shifted the edge accordingly depending on the subject.

* The box is actually rather small. After the shuffle and the camera I found very little else that was a good size to take photos of. A larger box would be better.

* Those lamps make the box and in turn the subject very very hot. Initially i was contemplating a bit of a fun shot with some neapolitan ice cream, but now I don't think it would last very long!

* The printed text at the top of the box is rather ironic considering its eventual use.
