I got a large canvas drop cloth at the local Home Depot- about 15'x20' for $30. I will spray paint it with gray latex paint, and when the weather gets warmer, I'll lay it in the drive way, and put a 'faux' sponge highlight area on it for a backdrop. I did this with a piece of artist canvas when I painted my house brown and antique ivory 20 years ago, and I still use it for a 'Rembrandt' look. Incidentally, I took a Kodak Grey Card to the same store, and they advertise they can match any color- They read the card, and mixed me a quart of Kodak Gray Card gray- I took a swatch and read it on the X-rite 810 densitometer at work and it was within .01 of a perfect gray! Useful for checking color balance! Great to hear your darkroom is fixed up, I hope we get to see some of your work. Happy Holidays to y'all! Dan dwpost@msn.com
