Finally had a chance to get my hands on a set of extension tubes (in case you are blur, extension tube is meant for macro photography). Played around with it for couple of hours and am really amazed at the result! Well i am not praising my shooting skill but the details that you can capture with it. Paired it with my faithful EF 50mm f/1.8, it can do magic!
One of the OK shots
Project SsSS
Ha! Been almost a month since the last post. This project is my first into the world of DIY in photography. I love DIY!
So what do you do with a empty box lying around? (actually i got mine from MPH warehouse sales)
Cut off the flaps. You can leave them too as 'extension' or 'box-hood'
Draw the lines on where you wanna cut. Size is up to you
I cut 3 sides. You can cut 4 if you like 
Book wrapper isn't just for book! It is used here as a 'diffuser' for the lighting
There you go, a bare box. You can add on by adding white paper as the inner wallpaper
Tested with lighting. Note that the light temperature isn't suitable. Go for one with cool daylight.
Added a near black background paper. Aw, wrong type as you can see reflection on the paper
Test shot without the background
Test shot with the background
Cheap and easy, you have a photo tent for product shot or anything you can fit in there. With 3 openings, you can add on or move the lighting anywhere you like.
