first time attempting photos in a DIY lightbox

my setup pretty much is this. flash is set at 70mm and 1/4 power. all shots are taken with the 17-40 at 40mm or close to 40. only lens i have that has pretty close MFD

Damn, those are great!

Not bad actually. I always wanted to make my own lightbox like this but the only downside is storage. That box looks so big it might have a hard time being stored.

Thanks for the feedback. yea storage is a problem. thankfully i made this spending zero money because it was an old dirty box from the basement. so the only storage option would be to break the box down to flatten it out but over time the box may wear out and fall apart eventually

Amazing! I need to try this myself for all the lenses I put up for sale

few more :P

BTW, look's like you have dust on your sensor (or lens)! I see the same specks in every photo.

definitely a possibility, camera has not been cleaned in a looong time lol. lens i clean fairly regularly :P

LOL. That's one of the crappiest looking DIY lightboxes I've ever seen, and the pictures are great! Good for you. Job well-done!

Just goes to show that there's more than one way to skin the cat!

Took me back in time to the period where the only soft boxes available were the ones that we made out of foam core, gaffers tape and Rosco diffusion material...and they got the job done.

Nice job.

haha thanks yall.

i plan on building a much better design with proper diffusion if i ever have the need to take photos like these again

They look very good. Once you step up to a second flash, you'll be able to eliminate all of the shadows showing up on the left side of your subjects.

I like both shots.
