"2nd last looks best " if you meant the mapped background- I agree. Add the racetrack and that's a winner?

I see some really great pictures in this forumn, do you use light tents/ boxes to show your figures so well?

Do you have to use specialist light bulbs with them so they look so good, and are they expensive?

Cheers,

Shawn and Stu both have lightbox set ups so im sure they will chime in regarding there methods.

A lot of the site pictures especially in the reference section have been editing using advance software like Photoshop CS4 and Paint Pro etc there are a lot of great before and after editing examples in there to view the results that can be achieved.

Just had a look on amazon and the light box setup is pretty cheap? I was expecting silly money ....I might pick one up but it will hardly get any use lol!

I got one from Amazon Chaz and it was well worth the money mate. It came with two lights and a tripod.

It folds up really well in a carry case.

I'll try and find the link mate.

How much???

**burnsy** · Subject: Re: Photography Techniques Thread Sat Jan 09, 2010 7:58 pm

about £30.

But I know Shawn got the same one even cheaper over in the US.

I'm on my iPod, when on the computer I'll find the link

Thanks very much for your advice, I've decided to try out a light box, I shall let you know the results.

Funnily enough someone else has started a thread on RS about this after my post.

Yeah, thats one of the ones I was looking at.

Just ordered one Smile

A quick test ...

The good news is i am impressed, the bad news is 1 bulb only lasted 5 minutes before blowing, these do get hot but ive had lots of these type bulbs blow in the home, theyre just not made like they used to but are cheap enought to buy.
