Light Box Photography

 Our technique this week was light box photography.  You light your subject from below with a light source, I used alight box made for viewing slides. You then take several (I took 7) images starting with one being properly exposed to over exposing the next images by half stop increments until you have over exposed completely to the right, on a Canon or left I believe on Nikon.  You then bring all the images into photo shop blending pieces of each layer into one composite, this what gives it an almost translucent look.  I needed to have a light source from above also and will try that the next time.
