Bigdoggy Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Joe: Camera is an HP 5M Pixal Series 945. I saw this setup on another forum & copied it almost exactly. Works great. This is the one I copied. I bought the lights at a camera store used - for $15 each they are almost identical to the ones pictured here.

XRT Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Nice . Your light looks like an X-Ray light box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Really, really nice pix. Those light you bought - those are light boxes to view slides, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggy Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Really, really nice pix. Those light you bought - those are light boxes to view slides, right? You know, I honestly don't know. I saw the pic. of the homemade light box setup posted by a guy over at TZ - saw the lights in a Mom & Pop used camera store a couple of weeks later and bought them. They have a small florescent bulb in each fixture about 10/12 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter. In any event, they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks for reply. I think those are light boxes used for viewing slides, or for tracing pictures. No matter, what I'm most impressed with is the quality of the color (so rich!) and detail in your pix. I'm now convinced that fluorescent lighting is the way to go, I'm using regular light bulbs in swan neck desk lamps for my mini studio set up and I think the color of the pics comes out looking kinda muddy and dead.

These were straight out of the camera - no touch up. I cropped several of these and downsized them so that I could upload them to Imageshack.
