Hey you guys who take photos with that nice blue background... what're you using for the background and where can I buy some? My olive green isn't the best for some types of flies and it's time to go blue. Thanks.

I just have a sheet of heavier specialty paper from the craft store...set me back about 29 cents...
I dunno, that price is kind of steep. Anyone got a cheaper solution?:p
Diane; Steep as the price may be "G". It works well. Just make sure you face the dull side of the paper toward the camera, and set it back a piece from the vice. Have Fun. Jax
I use felt sheets that I got at the craft store. This is a harder felt, not the soft stuff. Costs about 6 times as much as the paper but doesn't reflect light. They are more rigid than paper and easier to use sometimes. I like to use blue or gray, depending on the colors in the fly.
For less than 29cents, if you have a color printer at home, you could make a file using your favorite drawing program, fill in with your favorite color, and print it out.
I have used blue tissue paper out of a gift that my wife received too. Also cut some cloth from an old shirt. Used a bath towel too.
Or go into "paint" in windows and fill the screen with your fav color and set up for a pic in front of your pc.
Except that the glass front of the monitor will reflect the flash. Like trying to take a flash picture through a window.
Printing a full page in color? Would probably use at least $.29 worth of ink.

Norm, Thats as bad as using the color plotter at work to print full size topo maps from the USGS. There are just despicable people out there! :rolleyes:
I use 2mm sheets of foam from the craft store. Works for me...
