Lightboxing

The light box was inspired by this thread on the Canon photography forum, which I had found while doing research on DSLR's. I figured that for less than $20, it might be a fun way to learn a little bit about lighting, and would be a good photo activity for days when the weather was less than perfect (quite frequent in NE Ohio).

Additionally, it's been a great way to learn more about Photoshop and get a glimpse of just how powerful some of the tools it includes are.

This is one of the first pictures I took using the box, and remains one of my favorites, as I think both the color and composition turned out really well.
