Hi, I recently wrote a short article on creating a window box for doing ultra cheap isolation shots and real soft shadows. I use mine all the time and was curious if anyone else uses homemade equipment. If so did you get the idea from a website or think it up on your own.
I have always enjoyed building my own equipment when I can, saves some money and is fun to do. Before I bought my alien bees with softboxes I also built a couple homemade softboxes. They worked ok, but weren't at all portable and were tough to store. I have been trying to think of a way to build my own portable, adjustable, light blocker/gobo for doing studio shots to get better contrast, but can't really come up with a good way.
Anyway, would love to hear if anyone has any tutorials or articles that they have tried out and use the equipment they made.
For those interested, the window box article is at //www.sprintingturtles.info/WindowBox.htm |
