no no you didn't pee me off at all i was just disagreeing i still like the black background the grey is ok but sorry no convinced .... i ask what evidence you had as i had not heard this before thats all

oh cool! I tell you what, I find it so easy to misconstrue stuff when it's written; text messages, emails etc.

I like grey, but black is equally as effective. I don't particularly like white though, always looks a bit cheap IMO.

its very easy hey jake, i do it all the time either sound like a right wally in what i write or read it as if the writer is a plank!!!

Thank you for your response jake and I do see your point of view. However, in art and creativity the eye of the beholder can have very different opinions and as such i personally do not believe there is any fact in the matter, only opinion. Your post did sound quite abrupt but I accept your assurance that it was not intented this way. I personally like my flowers to look quite striking when photographed which is why i prefer a darker background and what i was doing in this thread is just sharing that thought. We are all probably as experienced as each other and to have someone pointing out that you are in fact wrong about something is not very nice to hear.

I didn't say anyone was wrong, and I don't believe anyone is.

I prefer grey, but that is immaterial of the fact grey is a good background.

I'm sorry you don't believe the fact, and that is entirely up to you. I do believe in facts, and I wish I could find the source to back it up. Oh well, if I do, I'll pass it on, if you're interested f.y.i.

I do have to disagree that white looks cheap tho...properly used it can be very effective hence why many professional floristry photographs are taken with white backgrounds. I also guess it depends how clever you can be with Photoshop. But remember a bad photo will always be a bad photo...theres no amount of tinkering in Photoshop that can rectify that, believe me I have tried!

That's very true Chris, I guess white is good. Hadn't properly considered it, but 99.9% of photos seem to have a white background. I guess it makes for easy editing to remove any outlines etc.

I think much of it depends on how much you want to do with the photo. I always take mine on white as it makes it far easier to edit it out if I then want to transpose the subject onto a predesigned background image. The only time I wouldn't use white is if my design contains white flowers as then photoshop gets very confused!
