Morning guys,

I've just set up some shots on temporary backgrounds to show how I'm progressing with my model cane fields made from local 'Yarra Valley' grass (lucky I started at this time of year when the grass is seeding!). Note that I spray the grass with hair spray then paint them to match the background photos.
