2009 October 10 – ONE PART: How I Do the Lighting Assignment ?
Some people were asking me “how I do the Lighting Assignment?”, and I also got asked “what is a light box?”.
Well, let me first say, a light box is “A white cloth teepee-shaped tent that diffuses light and eliminates reflections in photographs. You place the objects you want to shoot inside this tent. ” [source A Digital Photography Glossary for Dummies]
Now with the above description of what a light box is, I used it to diffuse light and took photos of my Star Wars Action Figures. I somewhat need light. Now with my camera, I don’t have a flash unit, so I have a built-on-pop-up flash on my D SLR, and with that the camera has flash modes. I took some series of pictures, but I have 3 pictures that are best, so I posted those.
I decided to set up the exact way how I took the pictures for my assignment. I used my light tent/box, black acrylic, sliver car sun shade, a clip task light and my 3 Star Wars Action Figures of Galen Marek. In the first picture you can see the set up, and the second picture is an actual shot using my point-n-shot camera.
