    From a wedding that I photographed last weekend. This orchid was actually suspended by tiny wires as a part of the centerpiece for the tables. Using a large chandelier in the ceiling for background I captured this image with the D800 + 100mm Zeiss Makro-Planar *T ZF.2 at f/2.5 ; ISO 320 ; 1/100 sec and removed the wires in LR5.3.

    Did a quick and dirty Green Screen test involving cloth of an unknown fabric that seemed ok, and wasn't too bad a price (much lower than ordering one from online stores and shipped to me) and using Topaz ReMask (which I already owned) and PhotoKey Lite 6 (which I got from a free download yesterday)
    I had one speedlight in a softbox on her upper right and a speedlight behind her aiming on the green screen itself to get some even light there.
    The green screen wasn't stretched out flat as I've learned it should be, nor did I spend too much time editing the extraction (and absolutely not much time at all on putting the background there...)
    I just wanted to see if I could get something workable for this low price (around 60 USD)
    There is some bleeding of green in both images, perhaps with a little more effort on my behalf I think I can make something useful next time. And I think I'll use the Topaz tool as then I can more easily use it in my workflow.

    Now I only need a background of a lion or similar chasing something and put my daughter in there :-)

    @Rx4Photo that is a cool idea for weddings, and it makes for interesting photos as well.
    Well I decided to go back to the Fremont Bridge, I liked that the clouds were here for the shot.

    This photo was shot with a tripod and cable release for a long ambient light only shot. Red LED light is a major source of light for the bike.

    Thank you Rifqi on the previous spider post, and thank you flight3 on the post above as well as those who've posted on Flickr! Always appreciated!!
    @ Gjesdal I'm not sure a green screen is needed. I'm a huge fan of composite work by Joel Grimes and will be trying my hand at achieving his look throughout this year. In his tutorials he's shooting with a white background. One of the challenges is shooting so the light and shadows on subject are the same as what's in the selected background.

    @rx4Photo Yes, I sort of know, but tempting to try things out :-)
    Might use it for some short videos, then it could be more helpful. I am getting a proper white and black background, which will be far more in use than the green one.

    Terrific picture. Not surprised its a steam machine. I have not been to the Henry Ford Museum in about 30 years. Back then it was a terrific place to take photos. Every time my wife and I went we spent hours there. Great photo opportunity.
