My first Light Box!

Made my very first light box with a small cardboard box and 8.5 x 11 white paper. Took a pic of an ancho chile pepper I had in the pantry I am so happy with the results.. I'm learning a lot of new cool tricks! Just learned about the lightboxes yesterday! I love photography Can't wait to learn more!

Taken with K-X, daylight flourescent light on top of the box. Pentax-M 50/f1.4 @ around f2.8 or so I think. I also used the built in flash off the camera, using a bounce card I made from a business card.. it angles the light upwards 45 degrees, blocking all the direct light.

Some thread that came with my 1955 Singer 15-91 sewing machine, which I purchased about 3 months ago.

All are nice but the thread at that price and on a wood spool is a trip down memory lane.
