A new photo booth! Finally! This is a Fotodiox unit that Brett Barrow clued me in on. He bought one, and I followed his lead. It includes two (HOT!) halogen lights, four different backdrops and a hinky camera stand thingie. The unit folds flat in a self contained case, with pockets for storing the lights. At $40, delivered directly from Fotodiox, It's a pretty sweet dealio!

This set-up beats the old way many of used to do model car photography. Way back then, we all used a background "sweep" using poster board, and our lighting came from reflector shades with tungsten bulbs. All that worked fine, but it sure was a pain to set up.

Just got done looking on Amazon at different ones. Picked out a few to ponder on, but I'll definately be getting something similar soon. It'll be better than the homemade set-up I have now that really works best outside in the sun...which we haven't had a lot of lately.

Go for it! I think you'll find similar booths manufactured by the same company. In any event, the Fotodiox booth sets up in about ... two minutes. Just remember that the halogen lights are very hot, so be careful with them.

I have one of these too that my sister-in-law picked up at a yard sale and gave to me. Mine must have gotten wet at one point. It has some mold stains on the side panels. I need to see if I can find something to clean it with that won't hurt the fabric.

Later-
