Nice project!

What kind of floods did you buy?

Here's a question - I'm building a studio too - what colour walls did you go for?

Nice stuff... when you are done, why not do a write up of where you got the parts. I see a lot of DIY stuff on the net, but when I look for some of the stuff your usual Makro and hardware stores don't seem to stock. Then the trouble of making a DIY scrim for example doesn't give you all the cost benefit.

How about a shot of the flood light you used so I can go shopping.

Thanks Angellus - I like the idea of the energy savers - it will help keep the ambient temp under control.

True, btw what do you think about that shot? I just quickly threw it together to get an idea of the light.

Nice even lighting - maybe tone down the catch lighting in the glass a little?

I need to work on my light box again - http://mybroadband.co.za/photos/showphoto.php/photo/1084 - haven't used it in ages but I've thought of a few improvements including incorporating some translucent white walls.
