Hello Rob, great shot, I really like the lighting effect.
Thanks for the details on how you made it.
As Paul says, a perfect project for a rainy day.

The tent i have is 36"x36" so its big enough to use for all sorts of subjects - various sizes are available though.

Yes, its a bit more expensive to set up than yours, but for those who don't want to build something, its always an alternative.

Thanks, Paul. Does yours have an uplight though? The reason I did mine like this is you effectively get a sandwich of light, with the subject as the filling!
