I settled on three cheap metal clip-on lights from Home Depot (about $8 each) and 23w fluorescent bulbs (box of four for about $15). I use curved poster board for background. It's very bright, which allows you to set the f-stop high (allowing more of the model to be in focus), and gives a nice white background. Still playing with it to get good results, but I'm happy so far.Tiny Basement Warshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177114264084517734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-68821660950631150852014-08-09T19:31:06.518-07:002014-08-09T19:31:06.518-07:00Thanks for the review.

Thinking ill have to get much better, but i had just told bluein vt he should do a review on pics, so this was great. Cant belive the difference in just the light sources. Hopefully my oldhammerinthenewworld blog will get better pics soon.....gonna have to make a light box.Kaleb Hordeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279279669165070169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-28349273447557172382014-08-09T19:16:23.930-07:002014-08-09T19:16:23.930-07:00I also have the foldio and am dissapointed in the ...I also have the foldio and am dissapointed in the results. It really does need more light than the 2 led strips mine came with. Its nothing like the quality the kickstarter alluded to.Rob_Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172318344556547199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-9211188693892370122014-08-09T17:15:58.340-07:002014-08-09T17:15:58.340-07:00Sean -- good luck and please let me know what you ...Sean -- good luck and please let me know what you decide to do and how it goes.matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-22463086355596849092014-08-09T16:59:04.156-07:002014-08-09T16:59:04.156-07:00Just came across your blog through the Oldhammer+ ...Just came across your blog through the Oldhammer+ group. Your review of the Foldio is timely as I am on a jag about photography right now. Thanks for pointing out that lighting is very important, and I appreciate your review of the Foldio itself. Good things to know.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.com
