DIY Macro Lab

This is my edition of DIY table-top studio.

Materials:
1- Box with any size (how big do you want it?!!)
2- Sheets of posterboard, a white page with the same size of the box


Ready to Go...!

1- Cut lines parallel to the box edge, (notice leaving 1 cm. to keep a firm foramtion of the box, so it wont break down like mine)

2- Continue cutting as directed by the blue lines.

"as you can see, i've used my blender box"

3- Glue the posterboard in the box (make sure you faroce a curve, not a right angel. so pictures would have smother looks)


4- you can add extra windows from the sides to allow more light to the subject.

Share your edition with us in the comments.

Bibliotheca Alexandrina



Picture taken : 19-1-2007. Camera: Sony DSC 40. From a moving car

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a major library and cultural center located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. It is both a commemoration of the Library of Alexandria that was lost in antiquity and an attempt to rekindle something of the brilliance that this earlier center of study and erudition represented.
