i was bored today, its been raining all day. i was updating my website, but since i use flash it takes alot of thinking ahead. so i started playing with my lights. i'm sure you have seen this before but i just had to try it! and here is what happened.....

[airbrushjohn]

pictures are worth a thousand words
Will check back tomorrow. Have a nice night

here is shot today, just get a box, straighten out the leaves, cut one off, tape the others standing up. put a piece of glass on top, but make sure its clean unlike mine, hahahaha, i tried, then cut a hole in the bottom for your strobe. try to use a black background. anyway, good luck, john

very interesting setup. I wouldn't have thought about doing that.
Thanks for showing us your technique

well i learned from another post some time ago. i don't remember where, i haven't had much time to experiment, i have been busy at work, i work for 2 other photographers, doing school day, dances, sports, holiday, and college graduations. so it was fun to set up and try it, now i just need to get it dialed in. and besides its a cheap light table if you need to sell items on ebay just change up the lighting. good luck! john

Interesting and effective technique. Now I know what to do next time we have inclement weather.
