Shots taken with a DIY softbox

[sfhuang]

With sulhan's post at http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=75410 as inspiration, I made a small DIY softbox and had some fun taking pictures with it tonight.

Here are two spoof ads I made out of two of the pics taken today. Hope you like them.

Both pictures taken with Vivitar 285HV + DIY 55x55cm softbox @ f16 1/125 sec exposure.

Another proof that you don't have to be rich to have fun with mini studio photography at home.

Oh and just to add to the equipment used: Fujifilm S2 Pro + Nikon 60mm Micro 2.8.

haha yah lor it was slightly over f/16 when I metered but I shot at f/16 anyway. But like I said I took these for fun ... ;p

I just disassembled the soft-box ... I'll take a picture of it the next time and post it here. But it looks ugly with masking tape all around. Guarantee you'll laugh when you see it. :bsmilie:
