Seasons Greetings to all,

I am looking for some very high quality digital backgrounds. I have searched eBay and other sources but cannot find anything suitable.

Does anyone have a link to share with a company that sells such an item?

Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Monte

    Hope this doesn't sound stupid - have you tried the keyword 'background' on smugmug?

    Also, iStockphoto.com...

    "Digital backgrounds" covers a pretty broad range of possibilities. Are you interested in:

    Traditional photographic (made to look like a sweep or backdrop)
    Scenic/landscape
    Architectural
    Industrial
    Computer generated
    Agricultural
    etc.

    What method are you planning to use for the composite?

    A lot of the image databases have images suitable for a "digital background". You may have to search by category of image type.

    As Ziggy53 stated their is a lot to consider but here are 2 links that you may find helpful for chroma key backgrounds and also for images to use in the composite.

    Thanks to all who replied, iStock photo is a great source. Thanks for that.

    Sorry I was not clearer...I want to use them for portraits backgrounds shot with a green chromakey background.

    I am looking for outdoor seasonal, but very HQ like I mentioned before.

    Thanks again :)
    Cheers,
    Monte

    These seem reasonable, but I have no experience with them:
