So excited...

Today was a VERY exciting day for me. Well, I should say, very exciting night. For several weeks now, I've been wanting to build a light box for photography. My boss has been holding this box for me and I FINALLY remembered to take it today. So I came home after work, did a little research (thanks to Google), and went out and got the materials I needed.

Around $10 later and an hour of work, I had this setup:

Here are a couple sample pictures (Excuse the quality of the pictures. I was overwhelmed with excitement and didn't actually spend time to take decent pictures):





The shadows REALLY show on the second one, which is why I need 2 more lights for each side to help get rid of them. I also need a bigger box! Before I cut the box up to construct the light box, I thought it was going to be more than big enough. Now, I want a giant one to fit all sorts of stuff in haha.

And I think I finally found a decent deal on a Nikon 18-55 lens! VR too, which makes it even more exciting!! I can't wait. The lens will help tremendously with taking picture with my light box. A 55-200 isn't really meant for up close shots :P.

I guess I should go to bed since it's 1:30AM and I have to be at work at 7AM :(. I'm in such a good mood, who knows how long it'll take to fall asleep...

Until next time...
