Nice goin! I like the studio setup!

[ZeniTH]

Nice goin! I like the studio setup!


Thanks !!


And cheap too...

18x18x16 box $2
Roll of easel paper $5
2 working lights $8 ( home depot )

[Cutless009]

Thats a very nice lightbox, but why are all of your pictures so underexposed?

[ZeniTH]

WB off, hand held taken, other light sources in the background and the most important reason !!!!

Im still in pampers concerning digital photography... but Im learning something new each day...

Do you have any tips on how to fix the underexposure??

Thanks in advance !!

[Cutless009]

Yah, decrease your shutter speed? lol.


And yes your white-balance IS off, make sure its set correctly for each picture, most cameras have an automatic white balance for different lighting (tungsten, flourescent, etc), with those lights, they look like tungsten (like a light bulb), they give off an orange-ish light, flourescents give off a green light, etc, so just make sure you've got that set right when you're taking pictures.

[Septim]

nice pics. i don't really have the eye for those high def pictures.

nice light box too, at least you didn't have to use the whole wall...

[ZeniTH]

dooooohhhhh !!!!

I just notice that i left the WB setting on "flash"... instead of "tungsteen"...
but anyway I have to create a custom WB for my shots on the box...!!

[ZeniTH]

Thanks "Cutless009"
definitely i the slower shutter speed will help...

[Cutless009]

Lol Im making a whitebox just like that as we speak :up:

[RedRaider]

I'm anxious to see this build come together.

Your lightbox is very nice...:up: care to start a DYI thread in the Photography forum??

[Snyxxx]

I likey the white tubing.

[ZeniTH]

On Wednesday i receive the case and its beautifull... solid !!! I love it...

:slobber:

Hey Zenith, would you consider doing a DIY in Photography forum on a light box for the members and myself...:innocent:

[ZeniTH]

You bet!!!
I already bought a new cardboard box to do the DIY, but I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow to go to hobby lobby to get more "easel" paper...

[Cutless009]

I used rice paper in the replica I made, it works much better imo, lets more light in :up:

what is rice paper?? and where do i get i??
I think... that's one of my problems with the underexposure.... not enough light getting in the light box!!!

[Chicken Patty]

@ ZeniTH

awesome build so far bro, gotta love TJ07's. Subscribed :)

Rice paper is the stuff that comes in Shoji Screens, and that you see in japanese houses indoors where theres white in between pallets of wood thats always letting off light but its still not see through.

You can get it at most craft/hobby stores, but this place has it in better sizes:

http://www.eshoji.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=E&gclid=CKr6-p3D0pcCFQECGgod3AoxCg

I use it for making all kinds of stuff, especially hand made lamps :)

I used it to make this lamp on top of my piano:

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z6/Cutless1/House/IMG_2538.jpg

I love my piano ^_^

Zenith, thanks a lot for the pic of your light box.. inspired me to make a tiny shoe box version to play around..

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e299/cagiali/SDIM0699.jpg

do you happen to have a link for those lights? I really like the size/look, much smaller then what I use

sorry for the OT, good luck with the build, looks amazing so far :coolup:

[ZeniTH]

[ZeniTH]

Thanks bro!!!

[coolmiester]

Really appreciated coming from you !!!!

Hell yeah Im proud !!!!

[coolmiester]

I doubt its just me ZeniTH, in all honesty its a pretty complicated loop but you made it look real simple and clean with hoses at just the right length which isn't easy to do so i tip my hat.

[Snyxxx]

Zenith,

Really nice work and I love that white tubing. Can you post a few overall photos with he side panels on?

Also, does that murdermod front panel allow for a DVD/CD-ROM tray to work right?

The one thing that has stopped me with the TJ-07 is lack of a good hidden bay cover for a DVD/CD-ROM without having to hack the Lian Li bay covers.

One last thing, what radiators are you running in there? Your first post says 480, but it does not look like one is in there. Can you also take a picture of the other side to see that radiator as well.

Does the murdermod DVD/CD-ROM cover (part that ejects with the tray) just stick onto the front of the tray or is it held on mechanically?

It is stick with a super slim 3m double side tape... it fits great and the look is superb !!
