Wow. Looks like one of Pham's shots. You really rocked the flare/bokeh effect.

Lets see it!

is a dream light one of those curved things with lights all around it? Ive wanted to create something like that but no space to store it its bad enough I have a home made eyelighter taking up space.

At work and on my phone. I will post a general how to on this when I get home.

great pic!

Let me see it!!!!

Gonna share the link so the written instructions can be read. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer.

Thanks for sharing!! Whats the total cost of this? Is bathroom board that white laminate 4x8 sheets in lowes for $42? I just got one of those to put on the floor for white foreground/background shots and I learned my nissan rogue is to small to transport it! hehe. but I managed.

How heavy does this end up being? How big is the opening end up being? how do you support it while taking pictures? Do you find 40W bulbs to be enough?

sorry for the 50 questions!

Just thinking, could this be done with electrical conduit? Im not sure if they make curved pieces, but that would maximize your viewing area inside and possible be lighter/easier to store.

edit > just realized the model stands in front of the board, not behind. nevermind that part.

Very cool. Now I think I know what to do with my leftover plywood.

Thanks for the link to the write up.
