I found these roaming through a hobby shop. For approx. $5 each, I figured I'd give them a try. All I want to do for now is to create a surface to photograph models on.
Here's the black pavement one. Decently convincing as pavement.
The background is too sunny, I usually shoot past the sunny part of the day.
And the Gravel one also works for me.
Adding some vegetation to blur the edge and add some realism.
And some scale characters to make it look real. Okay, maybe not.
And how I did it. I found a sturdy box the right size and just sprayed the finish on it. The paint took over night to dry.
Then I flipped it over and sprayed the other side.
And a carrying case for my photographic sessions.
A bit of improvement over my old method of placing the models on the bench.
