Light box for photography

[maya]

oh yeah, here is the dealio. USE A BIG BOX! do not use say a shoe box *cough cough, like me* because it will be too small. use a big big box. okay a refridgerator box might be too big but you get the idea.

but a few months ago, I bought one on Ebay for only $30 with shipping.. fantastic purchase, I can't believe I never bought sooner.

Healinya, do you happen to remember which light box you bought (on Ebay). There's 350 on there now and I really want to feel the same way about the one I buy as you do.
Thanks,

I looked thru feedback, but couldn't find the exact seller - this is it tho http://www.ebay.com/itm/24-60cm-square- ... 19c76ab3da

I kind of wish I got the 16 or 20"... this one is great, especially if you really like to decorate the scene.. I just find myself wishing I could shave a couple inches from the sides..

The colored backdrops were a nuisance, I couldn't get the crease mark out. But I can easily buy a half yard of fabric and just slip it up the back... Here is a photo with it

This is awesome, Healinya! Thank you! You must've got the 24" one; I think I'll go for a 20" on your recommendation as it might give me a bit more room to "play" than the 16". And your soap looks great. That result is exactly what I'm looking for.
Best regards,
Mary

Yes, 24". I saw a display for it in a local Ritz camera store, it was around $90. I actually decided to get it right there, but all they had was the display model. I checked ebay when I got home and saw that they were they exact same thing.

I think I am going to make this one. It seems that it will last longer than a box and easy to put away. I just know the box will get crushed by one of my dogs or end up in the burn pile...
