A homemade light tent

[derekl_1963]

Needing to take photographs of soaps, book bindings, etc... I built my own light tent. It works pretty dang good if I do say so myself. A bit of tuning and practice, and it will be excellent. Just cut the sides out of a box. (Here, the box our new microwave came in.) Use pillowcases as diffusers and desk lamps for lights. Important Note: Use CFL lights - incandescent lights are a fire hazard used in this manner.

Here we see it all setup, but with the top off:



And then with the top on and the desk lamp used for fill lighting:
