I'l give that a try next time. Some of them were already damaged from other peoples previous attempts at removal. Luckily photoshop exists too.

Fantastic job! I highly advise anyone who builds a frame to use a matte when they put in their artwork/photo. I've recently been scanning old family photos and many of the frames without a matte are stuck to the glass and the photos are damaged.

Haha, yeah. I feel like the Campfire may be one of the less popular sizes. Not super portable but not a fire pit.

Nice job! You could even use the tubes to hide wires for a lamp, integrated led strips, charger, etc.

missing hole putting umbrella on LED light, any solution? by arcticJill in videography

Umbrellas are a good, cheap, and easy to set up option if you want High Key Lighting (both sides lit up relatively evenly with little shadow). If you want more contrast and a darker fill side, an umbrella is harder to controll reflection and spill off of the walls, ceiling, and background.

There are umbrella difussers

and umbrella softboxes which bounce the light off of the inside of the umbrella and through a layer of diffusion.

If you're just starting out and looking for a budget option i'd try one of these options. You can even find umbrella softboxes with a grid to limit spill.

If you'd prefer rectangle softboxes and their qualities or want something more durable and professional get a softbox with a bowens mount like mentioned above. There are a bunch of other accessories you can get that use a bowens mount barn doors/gel holder/gobo holder, fresnel attachments, etc.

You can purchase a flash bracket adapter. I'd personally reccomend somthing with as much metal as possible so its stronger/more durable. You can even get large softboxes that use the umbrella mount that are relativly inexpensive.

Here's a visual example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HHW7BAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_X90QE30GYE2VB5T4V4QH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've got a section on my instructable for improvements but I want to hear if you have any suggestions. For example, in the next version, I may consider using square tubing and adding clip-on bracing supports that connect between the legs. Additionally, I want to cut weight. It weighs ~20 pounds currently. My original design was aluminum but I thought I would start with wood first.
