Photographers Might Find This Entry Useful

i chanced upon this quick-n-dirty Light Tent project for photographing prototypes and appearance models. and you know getting a studio just to take photographs on objects and products is a pretty dumb move, so this genius came up with a D-I-Y Light Tent with simple materials!

so this genius wdrwilson explained that he was inspired to do this project after seeing the PVC light tent, which uses a cardboard box, and some white material (Tyvek) which allowed him to take reasonable photos of products such as watches, jewlery, small objects, etc..blah blah. and the end product of an image turns out to look like this

sweet, eh?

Materials You'd Need:
- Masking tape or other heavy tape (Duct, packing, etc)
- X-Acto knife
- Ruler
- Glue Stick
- semi transparent white material (Tyvek, White suiting/Ripstop nylon, bed sheets, etc)

Step 1: First thing to do is find your self a usable box. The box I used is a half of a resin plastic shelf. The dimensions are roughly 16" x 15" x 15". This size has handled most things I have put in it, however I think something a little wider would be easier to use...

well i hope photographers like you found joy in this and hopefully, from the end product, improvise and create a better Light Tent and share with others :)
