tent for photos

[beading57]

Hi,

I am thinking of purchase a light tent to help with my picture quality. I was wondering if it was worth purchasing the tabletop lights that come with a lot of the kits, or if the tent is all I need? I would appreciate any input from all the experts out there! :waving:

Just go to Lowe's and get some cheap flood lights. They work fine.

Here is my setup:

I turn off all yellow lights in the room and use only the photo bulbs in my flood lamps. Id invest in them.

Thanks for the input! Shari - beautiful beads and pictures! What type of tent set up do you have?

I bought mine from www.sell-it-on-the-net.com I love it. Got black, white, and gray photo paper and bulbs with it. It comes in this cute little pouch so it's really easy to transport. Folds up.

I use a set up similar to this.

Shari - thanks for showing me a picture of your set-up.

Rebekah - So funny! That is exactly the set-up I was looking at online. I guess you answered my question of whether it is worth it!

Hmmmm....I am procrastinating! Hopefully not for too long though. I don't want to have to rush outside every time there is a glimpse of sun in Michigan! Especially at this time of year. It would be nice to have a set up in the house that I could "run" to any time I wanted..day or night. Especially since I am a night owl!
