Following on from test 1 I wanted to experiment with a homemade light box. This was simply a cardboard box from a well known supermarket, with the back cut out and a white piece of card stuck in place. The sides and roof had been blacked out with paper and the floor coloured white. The subject was a weed (Rosebay Willow Herb) that I had picked that morning, which was full of drift seed. As you can see from the images below I place the light box next to a window, the plant was roughly six inches away from the background clamped in position. As with test one I was using a 210mm focal length lens with two bellows for that macro composition. A homemade reflector with a hole in the centre for the lens to poke through to add those extra highlights. The camera was positioned roughly a meter away from the light box.
As with test 1 a lightmeter reading was taken.
