DIY Lightbox: Capture professional photos in your own bedroom!!


Lately there's been a lot of post about DIY Lightbox
where people can EASILY make a light studio at home
taking photos with professional feels~
Great techniques~ Great equipments~
Nah~~~~~
I was thinking it's truly convenient to make one for myself
Since I've joined Doterra for a while, I'll be taking a lot images on those oils or package =P
So~
 taaadaaaa~~~

MY SUPER LOW BUDGET LIGHTBOX

It's really quite simple
the process is straightforward
Here's the website that I refer to:
http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent/

BUT, I didn't really follow 100% on the procedure due to lack of some material
and I replace with others...
Nevermind~ Let's talk about it~

  FIRST STEP : SEARCH  

Find a simple, recycled empty box
(Preferable a square box with length approximately 40~50cm


  SECOND STEP : CUT  

Cut 4 sides of square box faces with about 2 inches on its perimeter
*** For my own method, you can just cut one side***
*** I'll explain at bottom***

For an extra work, I used A4 white paper to cover all pillars
So that when light is directed on the box, it can be partially reflected back on the object
Reducing shadows in the captured image



  THIRD STEP : BACKGROUND  

This is quite an important steps because all we want is the DAMN white background behind!!
Measure the exact size of manila card and lean it inside
REMEMBER NOT TO BEND THE EDGE IN THE MIDDLE OF MANILA CARD
You won't like to see a line in your photo
This white background gives you an infinity feel in your studio



  LAST STEP : COVER UP  

Use manila card/white paper to cover up the other two sides of hole
Actually in the reference's procedure, they're using wax paper to cover up the hole
because they're using light diffusion to spread the light inside the lightbox
Well~ I've round all over Penang and I couldn't find a single wax paper
so~ I just use white paper
Instead of light diffusion, I believe I'm using light reflection to makes the similar effect in the DIY lightbox
Anyway, the result doesn't seem that bad~ hehe



MY "PROFESSIONAL" PHOTOS







*******************************************************

Btw, I accidentally cut my finger when I was doing the lightbox >,<
So~
PERFECT TIME to test on my Doterra essential oils
For cut, I've used Lavender, Melaleuca and Frankincense to apply on the cut
Before I apply, the blood is actually flowing non-stop and it's quite pain =.=
After apply, I myself is surprised with the effect because this is the first time I use essential oils on injury (All the while, I was reading on articles on the benefits of oil on injuries)

The blood STOP FLOWING OUT
The pain EVENTUALLY FADES AWAY
It's quite amazing and it makes me wanna put slightly more belief on the oils
And that is how they get their name
HOME ESSENTIALS KIT
As it is indeed necessary useful at home




Thank you for your time =)

我的开始:doTERRA Introductory Kit


终于!!!踏出第一步加入了doTERRA的团队
这是我的第二步,想要让更多人知道关于doTERRA精油的好处
of course~ 不一定说doTERRA就是万能的
这世上还有很多不同品牌的精油 主要要跟他家说的是
这些纯天然精油能在我们生活里扮演着什么角色 紧急时刻能发挥什么作用

我不是专家,也不是什么encyclopedia~ 我也是在学习的路途中 和大家一样
请多多指教~



让我来介绍介绍一下 这是我的第一款 doTERRA essential oils

doTERRA Introductory Kit

 


这个 introductory kit 包含了 3 瓶 5ml 的 essential oils
- Lemon
- Lavender
- Peppermint

*** 我特地放大那5ml因为平常我们购买的精油都是15ml的
因为我想要尝试不同的精油所以选择了这个小小的 introductory kit
个人觉得还真的不错一下 因为如果正常买这3瓶精油应该也是比较贵的
我很建议新新没有使用过精油的人选择这个 至少不会一次破费买了不适合自己的精油
我买这一套大概也是 RM125差不多吧
不过相信我,我用了超过两个月也还没用完呢
我常喜欢用的是 Peppermint和Lavender (因为我常常偏头痛)
现在Lavender 要开始入货了 ,Peppermint 还有~ Lemon 更不用说~ 还有一大把呢
让我来介绍介绍这三个精油~

我很喜欢这瓶peppermint,又小又方便,已经代替了我随身携带的老人风油
头疼的时候,我经常会点大概 1, 2滴在我的额头耳朵后面颈项
它会让我在短时间内觉得比较没那么头痛
千千万万别涂在眼睛附近!!
本人尝试过,真的他妈的NASI LEMAK!!! (辣死你妈)

而且这也是个可以拿来提神的
当你爱睡的时候~ 涂一点点在手指上,在涂在你的额头眉间~
本人在办公室试过了~ 效果不错~
如果再不行很爱睡的话 请你冲杯咖啡吧



接下来这个Lavender,就是每个人都熟悉的薰衣草,是这3瓶我最喜欢的那个
头痛的时候
1. 把Lavender和Peppermint  blend在一起
2. 涂在你的额头和颈项
3. 然后轻轻的按摩颈项和太阳穴

Lavender 有助于帮助我们大脑慢化活动 所以才会舒缓头痛迹象
再加上我最喜欢它的最大功能
让我睡觉
你可以把精油滴在脚板上

还是用 diffuser 把Laverder散布在房间内



最后的就是 Lemon

Lemon essential oil 有净化的功能
1. 比如说房间有异味,你可以用 Diffuser 中和空气中的奇怪味道

2. 还是说我们有了喉咙痛或咳嗽 的症状,冲一杯Honey,加上几滴Lemon,有帮助舒缓症状
我们不能说它能治好病或什么
不过至少它会帮助我们减少症状,不会那么辛苦
当然,医生给的药还是要吃的 
哈哈哈哈哈哈!


 Summary 

doTERRA Introductory Kit 不算是最完美或最齐全的精油装备。不过它可以是新学者不错的配套。我也算是一个新人,所以我觉得还真的不错一下的,尤其是Lavender和Peppermint。For 那些有失眠症状或压力的人,不妨试试Lavender的精油。
