Lightbox Inspirations
Apr 28, 2017 23:13:43 #
I was so impressed by Donna and Angela's images using a lightbox that I continued to research it a bit and my husband, who is always in need of a project, agreed to build me one. Quite simple, really, and I am having so much fun. These are my first attempts, and I have a ways to go to get it "right". Thank you,Donna (Dixiegirl) for your patience on the phone--over an hour!
Japanee Maple
Azalea
Dogwood

Well done! You can do so many things with them. You should try using black fabric next, just to see what look it gives you. I bet it would make your leaves stand out. I have a lightbox, I use to take product photos, for a local business. They are fun to work with. When I have the time, I like to play around with it, and photograph different things. Have fun with it. Looks like you are doing great!

Nice. Real nice. When I figure out where I am going to be next and, one hopes for the long-term, may have to look into one of those. Beautiful work. If that ain't getting it right I am very eager to see what is!

Carly Sue, between your ability with the camera and your husband's ability with tools, you achieved a fantastic series of photos. I believe you are either very close to your goal or have reached it.

I'm very drawn to the delicate nature of the maple leaves. Can't wait to see where your creativity takes you, Carla. Beautiful work!

I appreciate you looking in and commenting,tresap. Are you using the black fabric with the lightbox? I'm totally open for ideas and suggestions and I am having fun. Helps that all of a sudden our flower gardens are blooming! Thank you so much.

Thank you,Anger. I always appreciate you looking in and commenting. AND it was a lot of work for me! I truly buggered up several images but I do learn from my multiple mistakes, trials, and errors!

Thank you for those thumbs-up, Leicaflex. I appreciate it that you took your time to look and respond. You live in a beautiful country and I'm thinking you use a Leica camera which has always been a top of the line in it's glass. I'd love to see some of your work. Let me know when you post, OK?
