I was laughing about the knots. Yeah, I figured I’d leave the strings on, especially in that way so people can tell my photos apart from others. I don’t want them to look like “stock” photos with the white background.
Oh snap Logi, that light box is nice and big too. That guy in the youtube video, when he made the light box, he cut all those strips of posterboard and glued them inside so the inside of the box is totally white. I think a better idea is to take some white duct tape (comes in all colors these day) and go around the edges on the inside (quicker). It will give you even more of a white background.
Also, I’m wondering if you tweaked it with the auto adjust in the Windows software on your computer, cause it gives the photo a little extra pop. I just open the photo in the Windows software and click the auto adjust button and it makes the colors pop a bit more. I was shocked to see you had a birdie sitting in there. That is so cool. He looks like he posed for the photo too. He’s a bird model. Great job, I’m glad someone else had fun with this. ;D Also, I’m going to follow up with the type of bulbs that worked best for me. I will post that soon. I found the right bulbs by watching even more Youtube videos.
Tell us your setup Logi, what kind of camra, and if you used standard bulbs, florescent or so on. I hope you don’t mind, I put the birdie pic in the software to see how it would come out with clicking the auto adjust button…got this:
I used a nikon d70, three random desk lamps, and I guess the bird enjoyed being in a nice warm box. I used this Lightbox tut How To Make A Light box – Oh She Glows
