Need Photo Lighting Tips

[stonevintage]

It's that time of year again.  Little natural lighting to be found here for the next 5 months.  Set up my Limostudio light set and took a couple of photos.  Any simple fixes to get rid of the line showing in the background (used 2 pieces stryofoam)  Also, because the back piece is vertical - it shows more grey lighting than the flat horiz piece.

Also noticed (in the candle photo) bleed over light on both sides.  Any simple white board fix I might be able to construct to cut down on excess side light?  I'd hate to have to shift or move these booms to suit each items needs (the tripod legs on the stands are pretty flimsy).     Thanks:)

Hi looking... thanks for the tip.  I noticed you've got the same problem on your white background listings. I have a new white vinyl  window shade I could cut and tape to the back wall that will eliminate the line  but... looks like still, anything running vertical for background instead of horizontal is just going to be a darker shade of white?

Are you using black fabric for your backgrounds on your China pieces or some kind of bendable board? Thanks!

Yeah, I'm too lazy to go get the sheets all the time & change them out lol

Yeah the black is fabric, white is the poster board

I also figure the horizontal line may stop anyone else wanting my pics for some catalog (KWIM?)
