Sure - it's $39.95 for 12 yards at B&amp;H and if I remember right, it costs almost the same amount to ship it. It is so much easier to use than white muslin - I almost went crazy trying to PS out all the wrinkles! <img border='0' src='/images/icons/crazy.gif'>

Wow, this is so beautiful! I only get good light in my &quot;studio&quot; (yeah right..junk room) for about one hour in the morning. So that leaves about two hours a week where I can practice, and usuallly I'm so busy I don't get to. Anyway, can you tell me how much your white backdrop was?

Awesome studio.It's beautiful. I am so envious. Mine is in the garage which is fine when the weather is okay but I live and TX and can't imagine what I will do when summer approaches.

Love the idea of the hooks. Sent my husband out right now to copy. Thanks, I keep pricing the ones you can mount to your ceiling but they are so expensive. Great idea. TFS.

I wish it were this way all day! Unfortunately, I only start getting light like this in the early evening.

As a natural light photographer, it always kills me to see a studio light set up in a room that is just busting at the seams with gorgeous natural light...sigh! Why not me?! LOL

My dad set this up for me this weekend. He installed two bike hooks in the ceiling of my studio and dropped a 10-foot piece of PVC into the hooks for holding my 9-foot roll of Savage paper (from B&H). I still have to roll it back up manually, but it's a great way to get it out of the way - and it's more secure than my standard backdrop stand (I keep it behind the paper with a black muslin). We put 2 more hooks in front of the current one so I can hang another roll of paper in a different color later. The best part - the hooks and PVC totaled less than $8 at Home Depot! TFL!
