Mike,

halloween? ;-)
Cheers,
Dave

I was looking at the Calumt catalog again last night (great bathroom
material) and saw that they do have the Photek kit that Mike Talked
about. They also have a Calumet model, and according to the website, a
Bogen model.
I'll probably be picking one of these up myself.

Steve, a popular and easy way to show the small size of the baby is to have
the father hold it in his large hands, with a cloth or not, as desired. You
can tie the backdrop cloth or blanket on like a bib (on the dad), and hold
the baby in your hands. Experiment and see what looks best to you.

I used to use an old dark, olive green army blanket for my portrait
backgrounds in BW. The way that blanket soaked up light, the
background was always Black. With theatrical type lighting, the
portraits were great.

Does Photek (or anyone else for that matter) still
sell such a thing? I would be interested in a
portable system, if it came with everything, including
the stand, it's not too espensive.
Calumet has them.
Bet you get a response from Rubenstein on that one!

Hi Steve,
The backdrops I use are my son's blankets, wraps etc (you know how much
stuff they have!)

per metre)

No clue. But I think my old magazine, _Photo Techniques_, still maintains a
Suppliers' Guide on
Here's something funny from their website..They list their top 10
products. Number 1 is the D100. Number 2 is the Holga.
I guess the image quality is pretty similar.
HAR! Talk about a troll!

Hi Steve...
Not to through you a loop, but you may want to consider more natural
backgrounds. I personally appreciate candid portraits that include a bit of
the person's environment, but at a large enough aperture as to avoid
distracting details. To me, backdrops seem to encourage unnatural and

PUG as well.

Ah, of course. Perhaps one of the baby's blankets would serve?

stand out. If the baby is sufficiently patient, you could try a few
different looks (perhaps on different days) and see which you like best.
Good luck, and congratulations on the happy event.

I'd go with white. Color casts are easier to add than remove, and a
