While I didn't get to spend Father's Day with my Popsi-Cola yesterday, I did make some cupcakes for the party at my Aunt Jan's and Uncle Gary's in honor of my Pop's Pop (my Grandpa) and got to test my homemade lighting rig for the first time.
Check out that photo! Not even edited! Following the
"How to Make an Inexpensive Light Tent - DIY" tutorial written by
Darren Rowse on the
Digital Photography School blog, I made my own lighting rig using an old U-Haul box, white tissue paper, packing tape, and some leftover scrapbook paper. It looks something like this:

| Lighting rig all set up. |
The lamps are from the local Wal-Mart (about $5 a piece) and I'm using daylight florescent bulbs/lamps in both. The rig is small enough that the box stores in a closet and the lamps just hang out in my kitchen until I need them again.

| Lamps chillin' out of the way on the counter. |
The cupcakes are simple white cake (with yolks in... I was lazy) with fresh raspberry butter cream frosting (we had leftover raspberries in the fridge). The design is just a simple rosette on top. So to conclude this post, a few more cupcake photos and some pictures of me and my Pops. What can I say, I'm a daddy's girl at heart.
 |
| Mmmm... raspberry butter cream! |
 |
| Yes, two liners. It stops any oily marks from the cake and make it more delicate. |
 |
| It takes quite a man to be a good father. I'm pretty sure that I've got one of the best! |
