Light Box Photos

So i built myself a small light box for photo taking ... i'm still getting a hang of how to use it and my camera to maximize the photo taking, but i figured i'd post my first couple shots. They consist of one of my warlocks, who turned out reasonably well ... but i think the photo's could stand to be a bit better, and some terrain from the board: craters and stone piles.











As you can see, some of the images came out yellowed, or white washed, and some came out near perfect. I'm working on the white balance of the photos, but ultimately ... i'm finally getting some close to great photographs.

For the curious, the craters (i have several) were made from a cardboard base and some foam and Spackle. The foam was cut into triangles to build the Spackle up on to create the crater. The stones were made from similar material ... the base is cardboard and the stones are made from foam. They were then coated with paint and sand, and little pebbles and stones were added to the base. A little Spackle for texture and poof. Terrain.

  1. This is really great, man. Can you give some info about the box itself? What is the process in creating it, and what is your light source?
