[QUOTE="jp4294, post: 228095, member: 17467"] Hi all, My Grandma asked me to take some photos of her pottery so I jumped at the chance. Having never done anything remotely close to this kind of photography, I had no gear other than my D3100, my kit lens and my assistant in training (little brother). I had read about using an infinity curve for the background so I found an old roller blind and hung it up allowing it to curve down onto a table top. I put all this next to the window and took advantage of the overcast day as a light source. I had a bed sheet stretched over a piece of plywood as a reflector which worked surprisingly well. I think they turned out pretty well but what do you guys think? What do you recommend as a cheap background because the blind obviously isn't made for photography so it's a bit rough and it shows up in some of the photos?
