Nice selection with differing backgrounds and approaches. Educational too.

Not that it matters but I prefer the darker ones, and least like the white ones, it can be difficult to get “white” to look good.

i did get some fake backgrounds recently but so far only managed to use 1. I still get too wrapped up in the subject to think about the surroundings. Guess that’s a resolution for new year…

And the new year is progressing...personally I am in my second year and hope to be ready in spring, with a better diffuser and I will try to up my game. But backgrounds, yeah it absolutely matters. Quiet background, color harmony. Like you I am sometimes to involved in getting the insect perfect and leave the rest sort of to luck.

I think these fake background are more for studio guys, you know, these types who seem to have pet spiders that they can place anywhere they like at will.
