I just wanted to let you all see where some of your money is going. This weekend I finished making a photo lightbox so that my pictures can both have better lighting and no longer have little edges of distracting stuff in the background and or cat hair, etc.
I built this from a variety of parts at home depot, and the whole thing packs up inside itself, which is super handy.
I'm pretty happy with the hack of using a blackout shade to make the infinity background. when I'm done, I just tug and it pulls back in. I'll experiment with photos on black and on white using this, please, tell me which you think looks best.
If you follow the link, you can see some sample photos I took using the new lightbox. I'm pretty please with the results, but let me know what you think in the comments, and thank you all for helping to make this happen!
