Amateur Yo-Yo Photography

Thanks guys, you will get a good laugh out of this. I think this will be helpful for anyone who wants to take better photos for threads or anything really. Well, I took most of the tips from the following video. Actually, if you frustrate easily, I recommend you find a cheap one of these things for like $15 online, called a light box or light tent,…they are out there. I was ready to get started, so I made one at home the same day. It is a pathetic looking thing, but it worked, so I have to give credit to the Youtube poster:

Trouble was, I had to improvise cause I used a small box. I also got impatient, so I didn’t do things nice and neat. I was ready to take my pictures. You will see in some of the shots that a bigger box would have helped.

Here is my sad little box, and my makeshift studio lights :smiley: :

I also struggled with the type of bulbs, so it was a trial and error, that finally came out good. I recommend this for anyone. Also, if you don’t have a camera, but you have an iphone camera or similar, that will do. They will not be as clear, but a lot better than the average online photo. This picture was taken with my iphone camera…same setup:
