Well geez, we cannot start the month off without a daily, right?
Happy November all and wishing you a month filled with blessings.
Tomorrow are photo club is getting together for an INDOOR photo shoot.
We are planning on bringing things that we could use to set up a still life, demonstrate a cool and interesting special effects technique or photo lamps, backdrops, etc.
I volunteered to bring in some things for set-ups as well as my WHITE BOX. I made a white box about ten years ago by cutting the sides out of a GORDON FOOD's box and then cutting three windows in it, 2-sides and a top, and filling the windows with tissue paper. The box has been outside in the wind, on the front porch, in the basement, etc. It had seen better days and when I looked at its condition, I knew that I had to build a new one. I bought some extra strong foam board, some thin interfacing (used for sewing), and some WHITE DUCT tape. All together it was about $19. I finished the project yesterday and am proud of how it came out. I have enough lights I think to illuminate it, I am going to see how it looks later this evening after the sun goes down. But I did a little practice using the sun coming in from the front window and one exterior light overhead. I have additional lights that I will try later. I got the idea regarding using the white foam board from a YOU TUBE VIDEO. I also have a white poster board along the bottom and backside fo the interior so that you do not see any seams in the the back.
