There are a couple wasy to interpret 'need a flatter backdrop...' as it were.

- Needs to physically be flatter. Ironing that big a cloth is prohibitive. On the other hand, a fabric steamer is not, and I do need to apply it.

- Question, do you mean on the floor, behind, or both? If on the floor, yes, backdrop get's scuffed up while working and needs re-dressing periodically. If behind, then...

- Problem is more with depth of field than flatness. And I'm discovering that the smaller physical size of a DSLR sensor compared to either 35mm or 120mm film affects how depth of field for specified f-stops. As in, I'm still figuring out how much I can get, within the confines of Studio 318.

- A darker backdrop would also help. Or putting less light on this one, either alternative.
