How are you getting those matte white backgrounds?
That is so cool. :-)


It's a wall in the background, the lower part of our house.



Isn't it funny how people sometimes think that a picture is done in some
complex manner?

BTW, my two cents on this if you DO need to backdrop a flower while
taking a picture. Pick yourself up a sheet of foam core at Wal*Mart and
use it. Just set it back away from the subject a bit. VERY light and
easy to work with.

A scrap of wall paper mounted to cardboard would also work for a small
subject backdrop. So long as you don't go nuts with the choice of wall
paper this can be cool.

All else fails, use a pillow case over a couple of stakes to support it.


Just some ideas for those feeling creative..

BTW, whiting out a background in Photoshop is a long and tiring process
to do it good. Save yourself the trouble and backdrop.. Then play in
