A few months ago, I, along with some of my Kelby1 friends decided to experiment with shooting objects on a lightbox. May sound simple but there are a few pitfall along the way and I think we have resolved many of them. Here is a sample of a rose and then a week later when it was past it’s prime. Fun project to do when stuck inside due to winter and/or Covid.
Hello. Nice to meet you, well virtually anyway. I love being outdoors whenever possible, I enjoy making photographs, be it a flower, a landscape or some street photography...it is my escape and my right brain nurturing.
The purpose of this blog is to share with you moments I have enjoyed, places I have visited and images that I hope will bring a smile to your day. Feel free to comment, sign up for email notification of my posts or email me. Thank you for visiting

Judy I bought a light box over a decade ago. I love using it for jewelry and other small objects. That light sure does bounce around inside of it tho. I especially like using a black piece of plexiglass so I can get reflections of whatever I am photography.
Bob, The newer versions have really nice consistent light. I built a white box and place the light inside to reflect back. It is fun to play with and while I’ve tried a few other items, flowers and translucent shells have come out the best. I like the idea of the plexiglass, going to look into that 🙂
