Magnets and Metal boards

[Undead]

Great info there, Mike.

Sounds like a good set up that will work well, too. Could you snap a pic of your setup?  

Not really much to photograph, it is a black rectangle on an eggshell wall with black screws. For the camera I use a Panasonic DMC-ZS19 on a regular tripod and for lighting I use natural lighting whenever possible from two skylights that are set off the right. If that is not available and I can't wait I use true color Ott lights which you can get anywhere. For lighting you are much better using Bruce's setup as n example.

I found just what I needed. It's a metallic silver board, and it comes in a size 2'6" (30") by 3'9" (45"). Perfect for a 27" X 41" poster.

I just saw that these boards are a few bucks off and include free shipping... to note, the width is actually closer to 29 inches, not 30...
