I finally ordered my first backdrop. It is a white 6.5' x 10' and I found it on sale. I went with the white because I knew I could make it three colors depending on the lighting (or lack thereof) that I used on it.
Here is an example of each. I used my Canon 5D mk III, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro. Lighting is a 38" Octa with a grid on camera right. A reflector camera left for fill. 24" softbox camera left as a hair light. Then I used a speed light for the background on two of the three. Post processing with LR and Luminar 4.
1) No background light.
2) Speedlight at minimum power or really close to it.
3) Speedlight power somewhere close to 1/8th power to make the background white. Yes the edges are grey because of the post crop vignetting.
