{{fa}}[[Take a Close Up Picture Without Blur|Close-up photography]] of detailed objects requires good lighting, and a lightbox is a great solution. It provides light diffusion and a uniform background against which to place the object. Professional lightboxes can be expensive, but you can make a cheaper version at home. To create an inexpensive photography lightbox, make a frame by cutting windows into the sides and top of a cardboard box, cover each opening with white fabric or tissue paper, fit a gently bent portion of white poster board inside the box to create a blank background, and cover the outside of each fabric-covered opening with black poster board to block light as needed. You can then use flashes, desk lamps, and other light sources to create the desired lighting effect. | {{fa}}[[Take a Close Up Picture Without Blur|Close-up photography]] of detailed objects requires good lighting, and a lightbox is a great solution.
