home made light tent


Recommended Posts

I made myself my own home made light tent following these instructions: http://digital-photography-school.com/blog...ive-light-tent/ My overall cost was about $10-12. The box was free.

It's pretty cool! I still need to get the proper lighting, so that the white bristol board is a lot brighter/whiter (I didn't process these at all, just straight from camera; im too lazy right now).

OMG...i have a cat that looks EXACTLY like that one...like identical twin same :-p crazy

What's it's name? Mine is mittens. My friend has a cat that looks just like mine, who is also named Mittens.

So could it be scaled up to accommodate larger objects (ie: people)?

Probably. But typically people just use back drops + 3 or so lights.

mines name is weasel. I'll get a pic for ya tomorrow.

About the light tent....try using a black background for some interesting effects, plus if you want to shoot jewelry, a black background will make it look like it's just floating there, like a zales commercial. Good work making your own though...Light tents aren't that expensive, you can find them for under 100$, but making your own can save you a ton of money, and that can be used towards nicer things....like a ball head for your tripod mmmmmmmmm :)

Looka like i have a holiday project :D

Someone mentioned using LEDs i think...question about that

Wouldnt that make it a little more difficult to evenly light the box?

If not...it would be neat to buy three bread boards (top/ and two sides) and wire them up with white LEDs, also add in some red/blue/green LEDs which could be toggled, maybe some UV ones too. I have a little chip i can program so i can adjust brightness and whatnot of leds, not sure how many it could handle though

Well you dont need them to be even, depending on the effect you want. from memory this one (http://p858snake.deviantart.com/art/Picture-a-Week-Week-06-64227897) only has a fluro desk lamp shining from Right Front corner of the box.

Great idea Cazzy88ss

Like skyyPunk said this would be a great project for the holidays Crazzy what lens did you use this might be the perfect reason for me to get the Canon macro lens I?ve been thinking about getting my wide angle might not work to great for this.

    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
