my simple light box

[Shagnasty]

i thought i would put up my light box after reading several of the posts for help on how to shoot embossed bottles this thing works great! and there is not much to it

just a ply-wood box painted white inside 2 small florusent fixtures(cool white bulbs) and a piece of semi-transparent plastic, or a piece of wax paper over the front

without the stuff

one more

it keeps the colors close to right

it does really good on the fine embossing (of course it helps to have a good camera.... nikon... it does a picture good[]) you could prob. make this out of a cardboard box any questions or want different pics just let me know

later shagnasty

Thanks Shag, I've never been into photography so I'm lost when it comes to taking good pics. My sis takes pics of famous folks professionally out in Vegas but I don't think she has time for a bunch of bottles. Got to build one of those boxes and get with it. Got plenty of nice bottles to take pics of.

It ain't fancy but it does a decent job - thanks for the tip Shag.

Hey Shagnasty,

Nice idea! I almost have mine done. Menard's had the lights on sale for under $4 apiece so I thought, what do I have to lose?! I just need to get out and find some real bottles now.
