Yes, that backdrop is fabric. I think it is about 3 yards or so, but you can still get away with 2 or so. I just got extra because it was a remnant and also if I ever get a proper backdrop stand (rather than drape fabric over his crib!) I would want more if we used it with say an adult standing up. Hope that helps! Hi D., I’m so glad you find them useful! Yes, that backdrop is fabric. I think it is about 3 yards or so, but you can still get away with 2 or so.

Random question -- do you use fabric for your backdrops and if so, how much do you need? I love the tutorials and am learning so much. Thaks for taking the time to do them!

The BEST thing you can do to improve your indoor picture quality is shoot where there is the most possible light. Usually by a window, sliding glass door etc. I always use the IA setting (intelligent auto) with the flash set to off. Hope that helps! Christina,

I want to get some good pictures of him but only have a point and shoot camera. I have a panasonic lumix, which I think you mentioned in a previous post that you also have. I am wondering if you have any suggestions for how to get good, clear indoor pictures with this camera. All of my pictures seem to turn out too dark or grainy. I've tried experimenting with different settings but so far I haven't had much success. I just had a baby boy about a week ago and I’ve been following your blog for several months.

I love these tutorials! Keep them coming. I bought a book on photoshop for dummies and it hasn't taught me half the stuff you have. I look foward every Friday to these tutorials. I knew there was another way to black and white that looked better than a regular conversion. Thank you! THANK YOU! I love these tutorials! Keep them coming.
