Cripes, Max, your model must have got a sore botty! Thanks all, yes I must play with my fbits. Keep up the advice! Have looked at the site mentioned, so I am whimpering in the corner, and feeling even more inadequate.

Thanks again Stewart. I have tried this with just the flash (as my lamps all have too many cords to hide) and the background turned out really good. My subject though is a tad washed out. Any hints on what to do there. I have not learned how to put pictures on this site or I could show you the results.

Stewart, thanks so much for that, i have actually taken notes (yes on paper). I have mislead you a little. I have three studio lights old multiblitz of which I use two on the subject, and (all this on black background so far) one to back light hair if it is needed, and with the latter just the light with no fittings. So with the white paper, I know I have no room to stand the third light, which is why I spent all day :( trying to set up the flash units. Certainly did not think of putting the flash units behind the subject (two stuffed toys on a chair for now). so should I dismantle the small flashes and try turning my third light around. I would need to take it off its stand as no room, but I guess I could put it on a sand bag or such?
Look forward to your answer. Thanks again.

Not sure if this is the place, so any info on where to go (now now), would be appreciated. I am looking for advice on lighting white backdrop. I only have a small space, so cannot set up proper lighting for the background. I have three lights (old but good). I noticed that the baby photo people in the shopping malls have smaller areas than me, and they light their backdrop with two small lights with snoods. I spent most the day making hoders for my two flash units; one a pentax and one non pentax. I put some paper on the ends to direct the light onto the backdrop. Have to say not a huge success, one being the flashes kept turning themselves off! My paper is 10ft wide, and the room is 12ft. But I reckon if those baby picture folk can do it in a teeny space I should be able to! So any help would be great.:fedup: If I could work out a way to put photos on here straight from my computer I could show you my examples.
