Moderator immiketoo Posted November 15, 2012 Moderator Report Posted November 15, 2012 Cool, I went out and bought a light box, played with it and got AMAZING results! I'm shocked at the difference in quality between this and my former photos. Thanks for the tips! Quote Learnleather.com

Members Corey55 Posted November 30, 2012 Members Report Posted November 30, 2012 Hi mike Awesome photos. I'm sure as you keep playing you'll improve. There is a book called Light science and magic, that covers photographic lighting, it's really good. Where the metal is too shiny, put a piece of tracing paper on a stick or clamp and use it to block out the light falling on the metal, tones it down a bit. 5dmk 2, nice camera. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 2, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted December 2, 2012 Country ... it looks like a lot of the glare is coming from the lizard (or whatever that is) under the subject, not from the lighting at all. Use something with a mat finish, might just cure the issue Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Sylvia Posted January 5, 2013 Members Report Posted January 5, 2013 I think the key is to defuse the light. Even pro photography studios bounce and filter light before it hits their subject. I've been thinking about "light boxes" myself.... if I come up with something useful I'll be sure to share. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members shtoink Posted July 6, 2013 Members Report Posted July 6, 2013 I was recently checking out some other blogs that were non-leather related and ran across one describing a DIY light box setup. The pictures from the guys light box are incredible and thought that it'd be worth sharing here to provide some ideas for those of you still trying to get yours to work well. The guy has some shots of 1/32 scale models that are simply amazing. Quote
