| [title] Lighting setup | |
| [* black] ***Side lighting*** | |
| [* black] ***Upcycling:*** This can be done with anything with a solid base but works best with items like tripods ***(with missing parts that can be easily modified)*** or [guide|115533|broken lamps|new_window=true]. ***For best results, use something with lots of flexibility.*** | |
| [* black] ***Tripod***: If you can find a pair of quality tripods, these can often be used as a makeshift light stand. ***High end tripods are not required, but nice to have.*** | |
| + | [* icon_reminder] ***If you are retrofitting a tripod with missing parts to be a light stand try and use a low cost tripod which lack readily available parts.*** |
| [* black] ***Modifying a new low-cost lamp: While not in the spirit of reuse single socket lamps can be purchased for ~$10-15. Disassembly is optional, but the cord must be contained and modification options will be limited.*** | |
| [* black] ***Edge cases*** | |
| [* black] ***Over the top:*** This method requires specific setup conditions and may not be feasible without a dedicated workshop. However, this can result in more even lighting when possible (and reduce the amount of bulbs needed with bright bulbs; ex: 1,500+ lumens). | |
| [* black] ***Side clamping: This can be used in a pinch, but is far from ideal due to limited placement options. Unless conditions are favorable, pick a better method!*** |
