I think I agree.

Maybe mist on some dull aluminum or something?

Trees will hide the track passing thru the backdrop...

Very nicely too. It's amazing what you can do when you have properly scaled trees!

First attempt at bare deciduous trees...not great, but not bad. Spray-painted a few grey...

Supertrees, my friend. Supertrees.

They're actually running a sale on them right now. Stock up, you're gonna need them.

Supertrees look great with foliage. I'm not sure of them as bare trees. Can you post some close up photos of Supertrees w/o foliage...

They're the best bare trees I've seen. They're not perfect, but they're better than anything else I've seen that doesn't require a TON of work.

You can see some examples here:

They look good....perhaps I’ll give them a try. Although mine are free. 8 of them took about an hour to make

Temporarily hung the backdrop, from LARC. It looks good in the photo, but not as good in reality. I took it down and will trim the bottom to get rid of nearly all the grass...
