I'm working on some posts to help folks use their lightboxes to take their photos, so please do check in from time to time. <br /><br />I have an idea for you - Instead of lighting from the outside, try lighting from the inside: Place one light to the right and angle the light beam up to the left back corner and the other on the left to the right back corner. If it's still too dark, try taping some white printer paper to the ceiling of the box for a stronger reflected light. Be sure to take a custom white balance reading inside the box before you shoot! Let me know how it goes :) - Marlo M.IMakeCuteStuff (aka Marlo M.)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17763961263748145755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500067252439214994.post-20240823294512298932011-01-15T16:50:14.828+00:002011-01-15T16:50:14.828+00:00I was given the exact same thing for Christmas, an...I was given the exact same thing for Christmas, and I haven't been able to get a really good photo from it yet (previously I had been using large pieces of white paper). Even though three of the sides are white, the top is black. I took the flash off the camera, so maybe that is the problem. <br /><br />I hope you have more success than me!

For my light tent I have white, black and coloured cloth drops (that came with it) that velcro to the top and come all the way to the front at the bottom with a gentle curve at the edge when back becomes bottom (if you see what I mean), but even if yours didn't, you should be able to rig something up easily.<br /><br />The idea is to use the white walls to bounce the light around, so the lights from both side, and a camera flash on low power bouncing off the top, or a slight fill in flash head on would give more even lightingKaty Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.com
