What do you think?

Philip, take it back. They have sold you a Giotto rocket not a tent

That's ok Glen, the Giotto is worth more

Here's the Bunnings special

Nice improvisation.

Bloody hell, you have to admire the creativity of the members..excellent

Thanks Steve & Big V, the price wasn't bad either. $10 for the tent aka 60 litre plastic container (with lid and wheels ) and $13 ea. for the clip-on lights.

Not just a tent, but storage for the lights too.

Clever, clever. I often wondered what material could be used as a diffuser in a light box, but this one didn't enter my head. Good thinking Phillip.

Bob

That looks like a really good setup, Philip.

How have you found the colour balance? From your first shot I can see a little bit of warmth in the shadows. Have you tried manual white balance instead of just tungsten?

Daniel

Yes Daniel, the wb is a bit off at the moment. I'm not too worried about it because I still have to get some of the new energy efficient cooler globes.
I'll work out the best wb then.
The globes are screw-in not bayonet, I got caught out on that.

Has that rocket ever been used? if not give it a squirt on your sensor, big dust bunny...

That was straight after I used it, should have seen the worms in the previous shot.

Hi Phillip,

I was toying with the idea of using one of those containers but never tried.
Thanks for sharing - great result.
And it is so clever (doesn't break quickly, can be transported easily, will become a container for the lights) - you're a genius.

Cheers,
