Hi Steve, The backdrops I use are my son's blankets, wraps etc (you know how much stuff they have!) http://pug.komkon.org/02jun/bedhog.html ...or just get some white lining from a fabric store (here it's about $1.50 per metre) http://wwwstaff.murdoch.edu.au/~sking/pages/oneblock.htm My preferred B&W is Tmax 100 but really like XP2 as well. >My wife fears that I am going to blind her due to all of the flashes. I've read a few things about using flash with young babies, and while there's no conclusive evidence of harm, they all recommend not to use direct flash for the first three months. Cheers, Simon

I'm thinking of going with a white sheet for a backdrop for some b&w's of our new baby. Seeing as how I do not have any "professional" backdrops, my choices are limited. I also have light blue, green, tan, etc. colored blankets. Any thought as to which might look best? BTW, I will be trying the Pan-F. Do you guys shoot Pan-F at something other than 50 ISO?
