How To Build A light Box CHEAP !!

[madpaddla]

Hello all:
After seeing the ink post and with alot of us losing light in the coming months. how are we going to take great pics?
And b/c I am not rich I started Googling:
Google: Studio Light Box
Here is a great link that I found for a cheap one. Get the kids involved or make it cheap. I think this one works cause I made one last night. It tells you all the materials, what kind of light bulbs, everything. ENJOY.

Nice share Madpaddla. You can find fluorescent daylight bulbs on the internet, they don't get hot and really show good white light. Paul

I already started mine. But I did not have a big enough box....so I used that really thick white Elmers foam board. I had 6 sheets of it lying around. I also had some white muslin, but I still need to cover 1 square, so I am not attaching it yet. I wonder how big the one on the website is?? Mine is 20"x20". Thanks for the directions Ben. I had a babysitter last night and instead of going out I made this.

Here are my results with two 100 watt day light bulbs by GE, to be honest I still like natural light better, but I'm going to play around with it a bit. This bottle is a little lighter then it shows, a darker townsends I tried it with did not come out to well.
this bottle will be for sale this week...
