D.I.Y. Lightbox

As part of my mission to become a better photographer is building up the equipment I have available to me when taking photos. Unfortunately much of it is extremely expensive so it will be a while before I can afford to buy it. However, it is possible to build some of the equipment yourself without the need for spending out loads of money.

Even though, this would have been more useful last week during Fruit and Veg week, I decided to build a Lightbox. Following a friend's blog, I built one from a cardboard box, paint, tissue paper and a hell of a lot of tape!

Step 1: Cut three holes into cardboard box and paint inside white

 Step 2: Cover holes with white tissue paper

Step 3: Take Photo

Admittedly, it is not perfect, definitely not as good as others I have seen. But in comparison to the shots I did in fruit and veg week, I am pretty happy with it. And as time goes on, I will improve it!
