Photo booth

[scottie3158]

Hello all hope this is in the right place.
I picked this up on ebay the other day for the princely sum of £8.50 with free postage. It comes flat packed and is held in shape with magnets then folds away when not in use. it has built in LED's. powered with a USB connection and a choice of white and black liner It is a little small but ideal for smaller kits or especially figures. I am not as you know a photographer by any stretch of the imagination but I can see a great improvement in the picture quality.
I have attached a couple of pics one of the item itself and the other two showing a with and without shot.

Hi Tony,
I have redone it but I am struggling, How do I just post thumbnails every time I try I get both thumbnails and full pictures

Nice bit of kit Paul.
When you add a file, after it loads you will see a blue oblong. It will say Thumbnail of the left and Full image on the right . press which one you want to post .

As john says just add the pics by clicking ‘attach files’ then when theyve loaded either leave them as thumbnail , which can be clicked on to enlarge by the viewer or post them as full image , I personally always click load all as full image, cheers tony

Paul, only thing for me would be powering it. No pc in the cave so have a cunning plan .
Have some l.e.d strips from some kitchen lights with a power supply. Just need some bright white gloss card. !

Use a USB charger for a phone, tablet, or similar device.

Hi Scottie
Nice buy and it will make a huge difference to your photos. I think it is the all round light it gives that makes so much difference. I have a simple photo booth and that works well.

That looks like a nice set up.

nice difference Scottie (Paul, now I am confused...). If I may suggest, before shooting, do a white balance to your camere, the final quality will be further improved.

The charger doesn’t have a USB socket on it like in the photo below, with a separate cord that goes to the phone but can be unplugged from the charger?

Because that’s the kind of charger I meant: with a USB socket, so that you can take the phone cable out of it and plug the photo studio lights cable into it. All USB sockets provide 5 volts, so for a device that only needs power (whether a lamp or a phone that wants charging), it doesn’t matter if you plug it into a computer or a charger.

Thanks Jakko.
