Does anyone know of a location in the Clear Lake or South Houston area that has a solid white background? Stucco or brick wall? Something. I need some help here.
Thanks for checking.

White is hard to maintain in South Houston - good luck with that!

A couple of years ago, the Catholic church in Dickinson on Hwy 3 was pretty white but now faded some...it might be usable with some post processing...do you need white white or will close work?

What do you need white for? If its to get a pure white background, you don't have to worry about the background a lot... all you need to do is make the background 3 stops brighter than your subject. Your digital sensor doesn't have enough range to render it, so you will get white.

And if you want more space around your subject when you're done just make sure the background of the image is 255 and add to the canvas size with the color set to white. This was shot on some copy machine paper that was barely bigger than the part.
