Light Tent – P365 May23
Now that I have the wireless flash remote, I’m able to use a light tent! “What’s a light tent?” I imagine you asking. This:
Basically this is a cardboard box, with tracing paper replacing three sides and a sheet of long white paper hung inside. With the flash to the side, shining through, the subject is illuminated with beautiful soft, diffuse, even light, and casts soft shadows. Best of all, the tent is dirt cheap to make and does a professional job!
Product shots – I fear you no longer!!






Love the light tent. Nice results too!

.. thankyou for your advice too ☺
Awesome. You and Chrissy have me wanting to try this now. Might do this setup when we get back from our weekend trip and I have a little time.
It’s really easy and cheap to make, and it gives great results. So why not give it a go :) If you find out you’re doing a lot of these shots, then in the future you can buy a light tent. This is a great “get your feet wet” solution!
And you’re welcome Chrissy!
