But what type of light is the best for use in a light box. Some recent pictures I have taken are coming out seriously brown/yellow.

Would love to hear what you all have used in your boxes for good pics.

Thanks

Now, would you use daylight incandescent or florescent? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/603595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/603595.page GMT
The truth is natural daylight has different temperatures depending on time of day and so on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/603630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/603630.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/604138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/604138.page GMT LOL

THEN ontop a bright light bulb as to take the shadows away. Worked out pretty good when I tried that]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/604991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/604991.page GMT
Often seen as W/B.

Your camera attempts to correct for the wavelength of differing light sources (over correction causes "yellow" or "blue" pics). Multiple types of lighting in an area can "confuse" a cameras digital systems as it attempts to correct for the differences in wavelengths of your sources.


1) whatever bulbs you use, make sure to "Match" them. This means same wattage, same type and EVEN THE SAME LOT. Yes, if you have to replace 1 bulb in your set up replace them all.

2) I personally use a Daylight , trumpet style florescent.

3) Most W/B can be set to Auto, florescent, daylight, incandescent. The best is the ability to set your own W/B. Essentially you place a piece of white cloth or paper in your set up and tell the camera that this is "White".

Good luck. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/605225.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/605225.page GMT
I did fool around with the W/B when I was getting nothing but brown/yellow shots to no avail, I truly believe it was too much wrong light. I was using the stand alone workman lamps, two of them, on a black background. Just trying to get a feel. But after many adjustments and attempts I just gave up.
I'm just going to now do what I should have done in the first place, and make a box. I really do appreciate the help with everything.....but I have one more question.

Should I use a diffuser, or cover, over the bulb to try and spread the light source, or maybe use multiple fixtures for the bulbs, or both. And correct me if I'm wrong, but placing the Bulbs at the top/front of the box would be the best?

Trying to use common sence, but as with alot of things, sometimes that just doesn't cut it!!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/606287.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/606287.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/606664.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/606664.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/606950.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232577/606950.page GMT
