DIY light box

Built a light box tonight. Here is the first photo I took with the new box. Please tell me what you think. Looking for constructive criticism. What did I do wrong with the photo etc...

Could be my screen, but the actual motorcycle looks underexposed to me.

i think its your screen, my screen is always a little dark but this looks really good. no show us the lightbox

Probably my photography This is my first attempt ever at this sort of thing. Can only get better from here (hopefully)

Thanks! I will post a pic tomorrow of the box. I had so much fun shooting the bike pics that I totally forgot to take a pic of the setup

What's the matter with Ducati - they've not been doing too well in the MotoGP.

It looks like the main source of light is from the top. You can tell by the strong shadow directly under the bike. The bike seems a little under exposed while the highlights are a bit strong.

Try placing a white card in front of the bike to reflect some light back to the bike. This will illuminate the front fender as well.

The motorcycle definitely looks underexposed.

Thanks a bunch Gonna try that. The light was from above. Might try lighting from the sides as well. Work in progress
