Matt Irwin Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I want to make a softbox and I have some questions:- which materials to use? - which lamps to use? Can you give some more info? What kind of output do you want to achieve? How big do you need it? How do you want it to mount- on roller stands, off of the light, etc? Also, are you talking tungsten? Fluorescent? Materials needed will be different for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andriy Pryymachenko Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 I want to reach an effect of sunlight that goes through the curtains. But i want it to be white-coloured light (sounds strange, I know). I want to make portraits with it. So, let it be 100x80 (approx.) Also, are you talking tungsten? Fluorescent? Materials needed will be different for either. And what can you recommend for making portraits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
