I’m not a photographer but when Monte Pittman mentioned he needed to work on his photography skill in his last project, I decided to send this project to share my way in taking photos for my projects. Just a piece of fabric of your choice that you can hung on wall over a stool as in photo # 1. You may need two coulors, one dark for light object and another in light for dark object, as in photo #2&3. I use Picasa 3 to trim the picture and add text, if you like, as in photo # 3&4. I pulled the fabric to show you how it works, as in photo #5. And after all, they are easy to fold and hide away for the next project, as in photo # 6. Of course you can come with a better idea, but this is mine.

Thanks for sharing Sam, always good to get other peoples methods for photography. I set up sheets of coloured cardboard in a similar manner but will try fabric and compare. Thanks.

The KISS principle Sam at its best, I use a similar set up & you aren’t left with some combersome gear to store. Well done

Nice one Sam. I am going to build a cyc wall for taking my photos of projects. I built one for a photographer about 10 years ago. It has a curve that will not show any lines in the background.
Here is a link to making one…........Jim

Thank you, Jim, for the comment and the attachment. I thought about that idea but it was not possible in a small crowded house and limited budget. The purpose of my idea is to be cheap, small and can be folded and taken away, all in a quick action. Even so, I feel my wife says ” Oh, no. not again” every time I set it up.
I’m looking forward to see the cyc one.
