| Photo Light Box P880 |
I have been frustrated with the way my pictures are turning out
for this blog. I've been researching on photography techniques to improve my
photos and I came across the photo light box. A photo light box is used
for product photography of small items such as jewelry. It is used for close-up
photos to capture the details of the product. The light box allows light
to be diffused and creates a shadow less background with minimized reflections
and glares. There are plenty of tutorials on how to make your own photo light
box but since I don't have the time to make one I decided to get one at
CD-R-KING. If you are from Manila, CD-R-KING is a store that sells media and
technology products at an affordable price. Majority of the products are
generic and made in China. I got this light box for only P880 and I think this
will go a long way since I am planning to launch an online store in the future.
There are two kinds of light box available at CD-R-KING, both selling at the
same price but I chose this one since it is much bigger.

| Portable and easily stored away |
What I like
about this is its portability. It can be easily be folded and stored after
every use. If I built myself one, it would just sit around in my already
cluttered room and gather dust. Dust may easily be picked up n macro photography
so that is a definite no no. It even comes with four background colors: black,
white, blue and red.
All corners of the light box are seamed with Velcro, making it easy
to attach and detach the sides. The background is also attached using a Velcro. See how convenient it is? The only thing I am lacking is lamps. Lamps are placed at both
sides of the light box. You can even place a lamp on top but most tutorials
mention that two are enough. My list of things to buy keeps growing longer, I
still have to get myself an eye primer to test out my eyeshadows, lamps and
Christmas gifts!
