Ghetto Light Tent

I came across this neat tutorial a few weeks ago about making a DIY light tent so I decided to make one!

Photographers sometimes use light tents for macro photography or product photography - the tent/box creates a clean background for the subject as well as controlled lighting. I created my light tent out of foam core board that I cut into rectangles and taped together. I cut out a square from two of the side panels and covered the holes with tracing paper. Then I lit the sides with two standing lamps (which I had to kind of disassemble to to place them correctly) and I used those compact fluorescent lights in the lamps which give off more of a white light instead of the yellow light that incandescent bulbs have. The Result was pretty neat:

Obviously not perfect, but still pretty neat!
