Recently, I've started experimenting with photos taken using a light box. It is a simple idea that can really enhance your photographs.

The idea for my light box came from these 2 great photography sites:

This was my first test picture. The white balance was left on auto, which caused a milky tone to the image. I was quite impressed with the level of detail, but the colors were not correct. A digital camera will try to induce 18% grey scale to any image, so you need to adjust your white balance when taking pictures against a bright white background.

This is my Timex T-Series automatic

This is my Seiko SKX007 diver. The photo shows much better with proper white balance settings

This is my custom 6309-7040 that was presented in my first watch page. The picture has great details, but I need to control the amount of lint that gets on the watch.

This is my Seiko "Orange Monster" diver model SKX781.

These are my daily wear watches. An old Casio chrono, and a Citizen digital. Both of these are quite old, but still running great.

This is a picture of a watchband and bracelet that I made using paracord. The idea comes from this site: http://www.instructables.com/id/Paracord-watchbandbracelet-with-a-side-release-bu/

I was asked to take some pictures of my lightbox, so here they are. As you can see it is quite simple, bit takes great pictures.
