well, since i like to take photos sometimes on rainy or stormy days, or at night when i don't have any natural light to work with, i decided that i need some proper lighting. unfortunately, i don't have the $ to spare to build even a basic light tent, and i don't really have the space to store one if i could build it. so i thought through it, and came up with this.
basically free, simple to make and infinitely versatile.
first, head out to the yard and grab a few sticks. if you are stuck in the city, you could use bits of PVC pipe or almost anything along the lines of sticks...
trim them to three equal pieces. doesn't have to be too exact, just close.
place them on a surface to level the bottoms and tie them at the top.
spread them out and put any old white sheet over the top. try to smooth out any wrinkles and keep all the excess bunched along the bottom.
grab a couple of desk lamps or floor lamps and set them up on the outside.
here it is set up in my living room (turn the lights off for use-to avoid extra shadows):
