Lightbox Adventure

I was getting really tired of trying to take pictures of my black buttons and getting glaring reflections of my camera in the shots.  So I made a light box from some mat board.  It was stupid easy to make, just taped four sides together.  Nothing hard.  Then taped a piece of presentation paper to the back and got my lamp in on the action.  My bulb isn't ideal, just 150 watts, so I had to do a little tweaking in Photoshop with the color balance and brightness/contrast but they turned out great!

You can get these buttons here btw :)

  3. Nice job. I recently made myself a light box with instructions I found online. I just need to learn how to take better pics.

  4. That's such a great idea! My mom wants to start selling her jewelry on Etsy, but she's been having a hard time taking nice pictures. I'll pass this along to her :D
