jay_smith2 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I am new to studio photography, and I am interested in doing portrait photography using different types of backgrounds. I have been searching the web for background systems from companies like Amvona.com and other sites, but I also ran across a site that offers a Virtual background system by VB. I would be interested to learn from anyone who has had experience with such a system, and is it worth the investment? The company?s web site does not list the price of any of their systems. I do have a Nikon N90, Nikon Coolpix 995, and a Hasselblad 503 CW, I would also like to know if one system will be compatible with all three cameras. Thanking you in advance for your help.

yog_sothoth Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It looks like an overly expensive slide projector and screen. You can do that trick for less money. If you use a digital camera you can use a green or blue sheet as a backdrop and photoshop in whatever you want whenever you want. Also, I am guessing that system won't work with professional strobes, so you will be forced to use hot lights and long exposure times. A projector will have a hard time competing with a flash.

beno_t_marchal Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 <p>Stephen, I have no experience with that "virtual background" system but I had a quick look on their site and it appears the image is projected by some sort of flash unit and they claim it's compatible with strobes. <p>--ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
