So it's been a while since i've had time or something to blog about.  but now i have tons to write about.  

few days ago i decided to spend some money and buy a 107 inch seamless background.  a seamless background for those who don't know is just a large thick piece of paper rolled up on a big tube.  you hang it high on tripods or a stand and when it rest on the ground it creates a seamless background. no creases from a folded point.  it's awesome.

anyways, with tabi's light set i've been playing around with it a lot and i am just amazed by how cool it is.  before, for a background i would just use a wrinkled sheet, and i would have to blow out the background with a flash to remove the wrinkles.  with the paper as the paper as the background i can finally take a decent portrait and have it look professional.  i'm very happy.

i haven't experimented with full body shots, i haven't been able to produce anything i like yet, but using the seamless background as just a paper background for portraits has had awesome results.  

if you are ever thinking about purchasing one, DO IT! you wont be disappointed.  

though, the price for one does put a dent in your wallet unless you build your stand instead of spending 189.99 on one. 

i purchased two $50 high end flash stands.  i then went to Home Depot and for $7.35 i got a 10 1.5 inch PVC pipe and various turns and bends.  i constructed my own stand saving myself about $100. 

i have a few more photos on my flickr, so definitely check that out.
