Well due to a bad case of the Winter blahs I decided to make a Light Tent and shoot some stuff round the house here.

Based on these plans that were provided by Dee and Daniel.

I opted for 100w bulbs instead of the 75w Mr Huber uses.
Also got the GE Reveal bulbs in hopes of cutting out any hue you get from normal indoor light bulbs!?:dunno

Gonna try and get'r done today.
Slept wrong must be Friday night and I have been in terrible pain all weekend so far.
Shoulders at base of neck and center of back. Hurts like ----!!:cry

Any input or tips would be greatly welcome about this project! :thumb

Because it sure looks like you'll be stuck indoors with that snowstorm coming! Great snowbound project for you!

Reveal bulbs make for interesting photography. They really make colours pop (better CRI than most bulbs), but the actual CT of the bulb does something weird until you get it just right.

This seems like a really good idea. Maybe I'll try it out. And it fits my budget, too!:D
