I bought a photo light-box. Having a play.

 I recently bought one those flat-pack plastic photo-light boxes for a few quid off Ebay. This is a post really to see how photos using this piece of kit come out online. I am using one of the foam backgrounds that come with the box but I think I may make up a graduated blue background to fit having seen the results. I will also need to tinker with things a bit to get used to the new method of photography having used three anglepoise lamps for years. I need to look at the brightness and contrast I think. The light is very harsh. So...to have look at what it does, here are some of my 1917 Palestine Tommies, 25th Bn. Welsh Regiment (Pembrokeshire and Glamorgan Yeomanry). These figures are "speed painted" using the block paint, wash and highlight method.

lovely work Mark,

I don't suppose you have a link to the light box you chose do you please?

I've got some photography to do for a publication and my light set up isn't really up to it. Plus, I don't really want to move my daylight painting lamps about.

Cheers
