New Pop-Up Tent

 

So Bank Holiday Monday saw me opening up the new pop-up tent that Julia and James bought me for Christmas.

This one poppers together at the side rather than Velcro, the big one I already have has the most awful cheap Velcro along the edges which is like running your fingers over a wire brush 😮 So this one should prove easier to put together and take down when I need it whereas the other one stays put because it's so much of a faff.

Both have four colour backdrops, black, white, grey and blue. This is the blue one with Tedster posing for me as a test buddy! Finding it hard to lose the line at the back and create a true infinity curve, suspect it might be easier with just the white backdrop?

This image is of my two tin boxes, bought containing gold chocolate coins, and the black backdrop. Again there's the "strip" through the middle, this image was front lit using just a torch.

The backdrops are PVC which means they are somewhat shiny, the tent has two rows of LEDs, alternate warm and bright white which gives a selection of different colour temperatures and various light levels. All I had to find myself was a USB to mains adapter but it also means the tent could be powered from a laptop/PC or a power bank should you find yourself with no access to a mains supply. Could be handy if/when camera club at work ever starts up again ;-)
