My 'Forest' background arrived (one day shipping) so I placed it on my BG stand about 3' behind me. I didn't bother to remove the wrinkles (it came folded up into rectangular squares) for this image.

I did use a radial gradient to darken the bg a bit in post. I also did a .2 pixel Gaussian blur to reduce sharpness. I think it will work out fine taped to my block wall but I'll give that a try later too.

Either way, I'm not out too much as the BG cost a total of $9.78 including shipping.

Lit with the Godox 60W LED? Been a great light for me, love the simplicity

Interesting contrast between the warmth of the sky and the cold looking ground.

I'm happy that it's 84° here right now though.

First image (well, first scene) from last Saturday. And my first frost of the year too! So glad I have found somewhere so local for when the conditions catch me out last minute! Annoyed that it's taken me so long to find though!!

A7 & ........ yeah..... the 40/1.2

Thanks Gene. I didn't expect it to be that frosty on the grass in all honesty!

Nothing a good iron won't sort out I think it'll do the job you want it to do just fine.

Did you iron the background or did the shallow DOF take care of the creases?

finally got something to share :P

I used my Aperture LED panel in this one because I already had it out and it was handy. Shot through double tracing paper in a window screen frame.

Just the shallow depth of field...and me hiding a lot behind me.

The setup shot shows how wrinkled it was at the time I took my 'portrait'.

Fantastic results...and of course love the pullback.

Gene, others, here's another setup shot....duct tape/branches/small pieces of branch,
and the crop.

That sky is icecream! and frosting below! 10 star Lee (and wool undies are a good thing).

Yesterday I was driving along the Snake River and saw a bighorn sheep in the road. I got out and snapped some photos. It was a very gray day and the light was very harsh but I think they turned out fairly nice.

Wow to both!
