Build Your Own Robot Photo-box
In this walk-through, I'm going to show you how to make a box in which you can take awesome pics of your newest creation for cheap!
With it, I took this pic of this stapler-

Pretty cool, eh?
Alright, here's how you do it.
1) Get an empty cardboard box about the size of a wine box.
2) Cut/Rip off the top flaps.
3) Line the inside with white printer paper. You might want to do a second layer so it's not so translucent.
Here's some pics of the process-


As you can see, it doesn't need to be too perfect, I made mine in about 5 minutes. Don't be afraid to use a little Scotch tape.
The final product:

=D
Anyways, after you take your pics, make sure to touch 'em up in a photo editor (bring up the brightness and contrast a tad). Enjoy!

Aren't you suppose to cut the sides as well and use semi tranparent material to allow light in?

Ehh
You could, if you really wanted it top-notch, but the point of this article was to make a quick, effective box. Instead of having more light, I just shot a pic and touched it up in my photo editor 'till it looked sexy. I used this method for my science project; I now have some really nice pics of my solar light tracker.
And my favorite pic-
I know, not perfect, but I like it!
