Making background for pictures


Recommended Posts

Find a place that would make a good background to show your builds. :)

Take at least 2, if not 3 pictures. When clicking the camera, take the next one beside it. In a sweeping picture look. You will need to do this to make the background big enough to take a picture of.

Here's a picture of our water tower from a store parking lot. This was my first try at this idea.

Another helpful tip if you don't have a good computer or photo-gluing capacity is to find a panoramic camera in 35 mm, which, when placed properly, will scale out nicely for a backdrop. to use this, though, you must use a tripod. Also, make sure you indicate that you used a panoramic camera when you take the film to be developed, or they'll make a mess of negatives.

Another option if you have a friend who's a well-heeled photographer is to use a Linhof Technical camera, which has an adjustable depth of field, in case you can't adjust your position.
