What's the thinking behind your light setup?
- rsync 13y agoYes, do tell ... I found that more intriguing than the la-z-boy...
- hashbangsam 13y agoour lab is a photon vacuum. i've iterated through an array of desk lamps, but realized the biggest problem is the lack of reflections from walls/ceilings. so the shield is a big light reflector --- just foam posterboard taped together and hung from a 5-iron and some rope. the $5 ikea lamps provide nice warm light, and the angular shield makes it feel like you're on a photo shoot with ambient light and minimal self-occluding shadows.
- sitkack 13y agoI have a design for a suspended reflector tent that is pretty much exactly what you have there. I can't stand shadows and varying illumination when I read or work on electronics.
- krilnon 13y ago> our lab is a photon vacuum. Parts of it, anyway. My desk was next to one of those huge glass walls facing Kiva. We also got reflections from the mirror-like metal paneling on the opposite side of the tower.
