That's not what I would call a light box. That's just a box to
provide a neutral background and little bit of bounce light.

A light box, or soft box, has translucent sides so external light

WRONG.

They CAN have translucent sides for more lighting and diffusing
possibilities, but that does not in and of itself make it a light-box. Its
function is what defines it as a light-box, not its materials nor
construction.

What is the function of the box shown that makes it a "light box"?

If you had ever taken a photograph with any kind of external lighting
other than the puny on-board flash of your Barbie P&S, you'd
understand what the function of a light box is. (Streetlights for bad
rare moth pictures excluded)


Hint: When you stop posting your vast array of ignorance in public, then
people who know far more than you ever will, will stop correcting you. It's
that simple. Let us all know when you figure that out.

It is noted that you did not answer the question. That translates to
the fact that you don't know what you're talking about and can't
supply an answer.

It had already been answered. You're just too much of a moron to realize
that so there was no reason to repeat it again.

A light box allows light to pass through it,

WRONG AGAIN (like that's any surprise). It *CAN* allow light to pass
through some structural sides of it, BUT NOT ALL DO.

Show me a link to one that doesn't.

albeit diffused light. A
cardboard box does not.

sources can be used without creating glare spots on the object being
photographed.

This is not to say that your box is not useful or a good backdrop. I
just don't feel it's a "light box".

This lack of understanding of why people who use a light box use a
light box constructed with translucent material sheds a great deal of
light on the reason that Mothboy's rare moth photo was so dark and
murky. He doesn't understand how to illuminate his subject.

His refusal to supply the reasoning behind his misstatement shows that
he doesn't know what he's talking about and can't support his
statements with facts.

Your refusal to go educate yourself and instead desperately try to get
attention on usenet to fill your bottomless pit of "nobody gives a ****
about you in your life" tells everyone much much more about you.

ARRrrrr.... Man your harpoons men! Thar be TROLL! A big white one!

LOL!!!!
