Howdy,

I was just rigging up a background by propping some grey foam up
behind the vise, but I realized that I should really make something more
permanent for taking pics and to save my eyes when tying. I like the
gray, so I took some foam and glued it to a piece 1/4" ply. I then cut
a notch out of the ply so it fits over the arm of my tying station.
Presto, instant backdrop, and I didn't have to shell out bucks for it.
isn't rec.photo.digital?)

Photographers use a 22% grey background. I find that fabric stores have a
light grey felt that is close. It is very inexpensive, and it is easy to
use. Just stick up some hook velcro, and the felt sticks to it.
