I want to make a shadowbox to display the sand collected from various travels around the world. Would this be a good box to do that?

The box is only about a 1/4 inch deep. Not a lot of room for a shadow box look. I put a piece of paper, a small dried flower, and a lapel pin and that was tight to close over the pin. Might not be the best for sand collection. The description should say more like...deep frame, than shadow box.

No. The Sandbox needs to be purchased separately. The sand is actually very "clean" and leaves little to no residue. We have used a different box.

Depends on what you fill it with. If you fill it with sand only then you'll probably be good. If you fill the base with both sand and water you have a potential mess on your hands if the base gets cracked somehow

Yup! Although I would definitely use it on a surface that has a shadow cast on it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pick up.

I would say get 2 boxes worth, one to play with, and the other for when the first is spread all over the house, lol! I would suggest some sort of sand box through for it to be played in, just like normal sand bits of this get all over! It is far cleaner and lots more fun then normal sand though.

The light box allows the manual replication of art (on paper). Instead of redrawing art models, contours to the T, we can just trace them with no hassle. Great for any type of paper (no matter how thick).

I think it would probably be somewhat helpful in the sand. You might have to build up the sand behind it.

It's advertised as a Reflector Holder, but imagine it might be capable of holding a speedlight and softbox. *but* you'll definitely need to use sandbags so it won't tip over.

It depends on what you want to do with it. We make pictures in the sand and try to guess what they are making before they are finished. If you want to make sand castles, you will need a large receptacle and 2-3 bags I think.

Yes you can , sand , or water, just like an umbrella stand. Myself I opted to purchase 2 bags of cement and made a form and poured it around the base and painted the base. Looks very nice if I do say so myself, and I do lol. I also bought a nite dusk to dawn power strip , so it comes on and off as it should love it, a reallly good buy..

Perfect for that purpose. Top and bottom both zip off to make it easy to shake out sand. Comes with a storage bag to transport in, but have trouble fitting it back in bag because it has to be folded in just the right way to fit. It folds nearly flat, so we don't bother with the bag.

Yes, I am sorry the sand is in this hour glass so I assume this will not suit your purpose... It is a beautiful piece and I put a brass engraved plate on it to complete as a wonderful gift. It read "When I am by your side time stands still"... SO maybe something to think about as a future anniversary gift.. Best of luck with your search.Danielle

My answer would be if this is feet... a minimum of four boxes.. .I have a 2X3X4 foot water trough I put it in, I use only one box, it just covers the bottom, so I guess it depends on how deep you want the sand as well.. There are a lot more factors here to consider

Nope. You will have all kinds of problems trying to fit it all in there. I've had a heck of a time with the box and finally gave up on it. Now I use a clear table with a white sheet and light it from under/behind. Then put a bright light out front with a filter. Your mileage may vary, but the box is too constraining for my work.

Simple answer is yes, Make sure you have a decent shutter speed so up the ISO, Image quality is excellent as is the dynamic range, I.E you can pull the shadows in processing without banding or bad grain/noise

We bought this sand for the kids' sandbox...I agree with the other answer that said buy a bag of sand from home depot or lowe's. This is a very small bag of sand! You don't really think about it (we didn't) but it doesn't take much to make 5 pounds...This is EXACTLY just plain sand like you find on the beach, nothing fancy, nothing special. Save yourself time and money and go buy you some bulk sand from your local sand pit (dump truck delivery guys can tell you where to buy in bulk) or, as previously mentioned, a big bag from home depot.

The sand is quite fine, it may fog the aquarium, or get into the filter. I see where it would look nice if it worked.
