You will need: - floor lamp - either really bright light bulb, or another tiny lamp (having two lamps will make the lighting softer) - Umbrella - Wax paper and tin foil - picture frame Step 1: place your floor lamp, if you are using two lamps, tape it to the light bulbs are maybe 6-8 inches apart. Step two: glue or tape wax paper over the picture frame Step 3: glue or pin tin foil to the inside of the umbrella Step 4: Tape the umbrella to the lamp Step 5: Attatch the picture frame so it sits on the umbrella handle, and loop some string through a hole at the top of the umbrella to keep it steady, don't forget to spam tape everywhere so it all holds together. Step 6: Take pretty photos with your new frankenstein monster lamp! [img]http://i45.tinypic.com/2qcfq51.jpg[/img]
I find this useful and appropriate
It would also be better to use a bigger frame, maybe with metal clothes hangers. And you can replace the tin foil with silver spray paint if you want or even just a shiny silver umbrella.
