Since you're photographing small objects, you could make a "cyclorama" out a a long piece of curved inexpensive white poster board - it would function the same way seamless background paper or fabric serves for models or product photography except it would be curved horizontally instead of vertically.<BR/>I'm afraid artquest1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12041335296170184698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546583771380089510.post-24862417883162771282008-01-31T21:19:00.000+00:002008-01-31T21:19:00.000+00:00Oh, no, Manda!
