Photo Light Tent
February 16th, 2009
Does anyone have plans on how to build a photo light box for taking pictures of products to sell on Ebay?
I’m looking for the plans to light-tent for taking Ebay item photos for my Ebay listings.
Thanks!
A simple light tent involves getting any material that is transluscent. From there, yuo either construct one conical in nature, with a small hole in front cout out for the lens, or a cubical light tent wuth the transluscent material being on the back and sides and your camera can be in front.
For the cube version, you need to cover the front of the tent and put a hole for the camera if you’re photographing highly reflective or specular objects (or use the cone variant).
The size and shape of your tent should be determined by the objects you plan to photograph and how reflective they are.
See links to websites or forums that explain how people built their tent.
(First Link has explicit instructions to building a sample light tent)
