Backdrops!

Postby Trethowan » Fri Jul 25, 2014 9:35 pm

Hey guys, check these out.

http://www.raihing.com/

I bought three different backdrops. When they get here I'll take some pics and give them a review. I hope they work out well. There's also a section where you can customize your own and they print it for you. Seems pretty cool.

Eventually I'll get into green-screening, but for now I need something that's pretty quick and basic.

You'll love them, I think :)

I have slightly too many of them (I've not tried getting a custom one done yet).

Oh - one thing! They arrive rolled up tight in a hefty cardboard tube that is just the right length, and the only thing holding them in is a sizable quantity of brown parcel tape - go careful removing it (ie don't stick something sharp in the middle and start cutting thinking there'll be a plastic lid there.)

I only utilized a background once, when I used wrapping paper for my family holiday pic. I really should try more...

I love backdrops. My dolls are much smaller, so a printed 8x10 will fill a window for most of my dolls. I can use pictures on my tablet for backdrops for Richi. :lol: I have been taking a lot more landscapes lately. :D

Fun pics, guys. :-) Hopefully these things will help me out with my photostories. I could probably make my own smaller ones for the chibi gang. Ha!

I got one from them and love it! And now I want more. :D Can't wait to see what you got and how it looks.

You can also get nifty papers from the scrapbooking sections in craft and hobby stores.

Ooh, that's a great idea. I actually have a pile of that stuff somewhere back when I thought I'd start scrapbooking. (I never printed the pictures. it was seven years ago. I'm terrible.)
