Super Simple Light Tent

This is part of the magic of the light tent, creating a continous background in your images. To do this we add a piece of bristol board cut to fit the box.

1) Use the depth of the box + the height of the box as a rough measurement.

2) Cut out a piece of bristol board that matches the dimensions above

3) This creates a nice white platform to shoot your images against. Try using other colors, Blue, Black, etc.


3) Insert the bristol board into the box so that the edge of the bristol board is placed against the front of the box and th card board is allowed to curve like a wave, half-pipe, you get the picture (I hope :) )

As usual the pictures will make it all clear. :)
