Excellent! Can you help me to achieve the dark background for my shots? And what about the light system?
Thank you

It is a black tee-shirt laid flat on the floor near a window. The camera is pointing straight down. 4x5 with 150mm lens. The light is natural daylight from the window. You can almost see the window reflected in the little shell on the bottom left. Hope that helps.

One last thing: have you set the background in zone II , almost III on the meter?

In this case I just took an incident light measurement but if I was to use the Zone system, I would have placed the grey band on the large shell on Zone V.
