well ok not so much as a tent as it is a ripped up cardboard box. got really bored the other night, so thought i would have some fun trying to create some soft light. first is my "set up" and next the results, with only minor pp being levels and sharpning. C&C would as always be greatly appreciated. thanks.







thanks for looking

Pretty Nice results considering the materials used, I'm actually working on a DYI cheap arse Light Tent as well, as a few other lighting modifying gadgets.. the one I'm making is along the lines of...

Much better results that my attempts at a home made tent

As a young soldier living in barracks many years ago....I saw many light tents.

Great stuff, will you tell little about the materials used for the light diffusion? And your background?

thanks guys!

craig thanks for that link, i might give that ashot when i get some more free time, i made mine in about 15 minuts

yi-p, the material is hard to describe, but its what dvd players are usually wrapped up in when you first take them out of the box, a strange almost foam like material. for the backdrop i just used an A4 piece pf paper.

I've used the same soft foam to light some of my egg entries last year, it works well as a light ghetto light diffusor.

here is one I posted in "TIPS & TRICKS" last year... I have just fixed the photo links to point to their new location

I'm actually trying to find one of these stuffs, I know that you can build a mini lightsphere out of it for the SB800... I just don't know where can I buy a few, or anyone has some surplus that can give to me will be a plus!

Great light! Are you using a macro lens or macro mode on a zoom?

hey there surenj, yeah i was using the sigma 105 macro.

firsty, that is a great set up! i like it a lot.

craig, i went out and paid the $5 for materials and made the one that was on the link you provided, havent had a chance to use it yet tho, cant wait!

Can't wait to see the results of your new light tent, I've got most the materials just haven't built it yet
