More Lightbox
It was too cold to do anything today. But I did anything anyway! Lightbox experimentation: Energised! Brooding! Can't believe I missed the obvious joke and forgot this guy has a screamy head when you turn it 180 degrees.
That's the lightbox setup. I used some translucent wrapping that was previously the condom for my PC case I bought earlier this month. Inside there is a sheet of white cardboard which gently bends to form the back wall and floor. You can shine lights in one or both sides. For now I only have one light, I will go to Bunnings tomorrow to take advantage of their $9.90 portable floodlights. The light shines in one side and on the other you can stick a piece of cardboard - white or black.
Lighting of course let's you create moods (this applies to lighting outside of lightboxes too.)
Now imagine what kind of mood you could create if you were photographing someone whose face wasn't two dimensional!
I also bought enough black card to make a black background for the light box. I haven't really got it working for me, but I do kind of like this.

You could have done a real time sequence of old mate tipping that cow also... he looks nasty enough to do that kind of thing. Is it wrong to hate a lego character? He looks like a real prick. Actually, he looks like Ray Martin...
He's not a prick, he just looks like one because of the lighting.
hmmm, maybe that is all that is wrong with me! Yep - from now on I'm blaming the lighting.
Over the weekend can you take some photos of the cold weather? Some frozen or frosted something? We got down to 21 overnight (brrrr!). I must say, I am enjoying your foray back into the world of Photography.
