Lighter background for photography OR Rock, paper...?

[BLZeebub]

Newly finished, WIP here:  https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/87616-making-another-background-for-photographing-miniatures/

 

This whole piece went faster and easier than the first.  This final step was using a very heavily watered Burnt Sienna (Apple Barrel) with (too much) dish soap.  I usually aim for a small drop or two, but this ended up with a squirt!  So using my sponge to apply, it actually sudded up pretty bad, but I was able to poke at the bubbles and blow them off the paper to get basically what I envisioned.  I'll call it a win!

 

What I don't know is whether to call it.  Is it finished sandstone or yellowed parchment?  Suggestions on names?  Next theme?  Anything?  Enjoy!

Both are important concepts in their own right. A lighter background can help to make your subject stand out and can create a more airy and light-hearted feel to your photo. It can also be used to reflect light onto your subject, which can help to reduce harsh shadows. Rock, paper, scissors is a classic hand game that can be used to settle disputes or simply for fun. It is a simple game that is easy to learn and play, but it can also be quite strategic. thanks 🙂   g
