Make your own (cheap) lightbox

[Tahts-a-dats-ago]

I've seen multiple people asking about lightboxes in their quest to take high quality pictures of their knife collection. In browsing the web, I managed to stumble upon a blog giving very good directions for making your own lightbox and thought it might be of interest here.

I am not associated with the blog in anyway whatsoever - I just thought the directions were well laid out and very simple.

Another clever idea. Andy, I like the way that you filtered you lights through the tracing paper. Looks like the food photo gal had a tiny bit of washout. I'm no expert, but that's my thoughts.
