I had found a tapestry placemat at Value Village, which I thought might make a nice background wallhanging, but it turned out a bit too busy unless it was blurry in the background. Only problem is, I hang my background stuff off of the chandelier over the dining room table, and the table itself can only be pushed so far towards the window before the tripod will no longer fit. What I needed was a track on the ceiling so I can slide the chandelier back and forth, but that's not ever going to happen. So that meant blurring the background in Photoshop instead.
I was very happy with the photos. Leona and Winston work very well together....
