homemade light "tent/box" trial (DUW)

jsschrei Apr 24, 2009 09:52 PM

I finially got around to making a homemade light tent-ish thing. I used pvc for frames, one for the lamps and one for the cloth. I used a black fleece blanket for bottom/background and a white sheet for the tent. Here it is, tell me what you think or suggestions to improve it:

I am pretty happy with it. The pics came out as close to the animals' true colors as I have been able to get so far!

Here are a few photos I took to try it out:

Emerald line Sunset female

Male Hypo Het Kahl Albino

DH Type II Anery Leopard female (and fiesty!)

Thanks for looking!

Thanks!

Just a 60W light bulb in a clamp lamp from the hardware store/ There is one above the sheet and one on each side.

is that it doesn't matter how ugly it looks, as long as it does the job your pics will look sweet.

btw, you light tent looks pretty. Especially compared to the ones I have made. but they all have worked great.
