I build a light box today and I'm not sure of the results it seems a little blue.



I used plastic card instead of foam core.

If the background is white, you need to push the EV up to +.7 or +1. Take a picture of the pure white background alone and you will see what happens.

The light meter in the camera is trying to allow just enough light into the camera, and a white surface reflects a lot of light into the camera, so it reduces the speed and aperture to allow 18% of the light into the camera. See the sample below.



Al shots were taken with the same light and subject on a white background, the only thing different are the EV values.

Also what type of light was used? Even with the light box, it makes a difference. A diffrent color correction is applied to the image as it is processed in the camera depending on what setting was used. See sample below:



The best thing you can do is experiment with the camera with all the different settings with the same subject, light and background.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Val I'll try that and get back to you. I'll post pics.

Nice senic pic.

It looks way better than my Leopard. Tamiya Kit?

Val I tried what you said but the results were the same I'm thinking the plastic I used was letting light through and causing the blue tone I'm going to get some foam core and rebuild the box.
