Record Photography

Since I wasn't able to photograph my records in my light box, I had to come up with an alternative plan. So I ghetto-rigged my lighting system with the same fabric I used on my lightbox and taped a white piece of paper over the fabric to dim the light because records are quite shiny/reflective. I set up my tripod to where I could take a straight vertical shot at each record. After I set up the very first record, I made a mark in the center so that each record would sit in the same place when it was their turn. This helped to keep the lighting and effect the same for each photograph.

Here are the records I've photographed thus far (cropped) and a couple of photographs of my set-up for this process.
