Use Your Wii as a Media Server

Do not underestimate the power of the Nintendo Wii. Attached with another free software called Orb, you can stream any media content from your computer to your Wii, be it photos, videos or music. They have a special Wii interface that matches the Wii resolution for easier integration with the Opera Browser. It is a simple and easy way to share photos with guests who come over and want to see your last trip to Europe. Or, you want to show your friends a video you took of your son playing soccer. The options are endless and you can stream a lot of material over to the Wii to display.

Create Your Own PhotoSet in a Cardboard Box

You will need:

-One medium-large sized squarish or rectangular box.

-Poster Board Paper

-White Printer Paper (Super bright recommended)

-Scissors or Sharp Knife

-Invisible Tape

I just cut the sides of the box leaving rectangular holes, large enough for my white printer paper to fit over it.  The two sides of the box will be your light source.  Also cut the top part if you wish to take pictures from the above view or if you want to add more lighting options.  Tape down all sides of inside the box with white printer paper so it looks all nice and white.  Then get a few lamps (desk lamps work great) and position them to your desire.  Add your subject to shoot and shoot away!

This is my result:

Even adding a small riser or stand to your subject will make it look like you are not even taking the picture in this cheap DIY project.
