A really simple DIY Light "Table"

I almost forgot about this fast, cheap, quick & dirty way to make a light table from stuff you can find at most thrift shops, yard sales or even in your garage:

I love how simple it is and, well, it beat spending $400 from something not much better simply because it has the word "photography" printed on the label.

Of course you can also just build one out of PVC or CPVC pipe and fittings...

gotta love human invention.

I am going to the mall today to see if I find an oversized beach chair. I have already designed the perfect light tent made out of PVC plumbing pipes. If I am creative enough I might end up with the perfect kit for product photography and whale watching

That is really brilliant.

Thank you

cool, guys...I was cleaning up old links and came across that one having completely forgotten to try it out...it's so simple, you know the sort of idea that makes a person wonder why in the heck "I never thought of that!!"

Hope someone gets one together...if ya do it would be fun to see shots of the setup and results too!
