Anyone need a mountainous scenery backdrop image? A freebie (image) is always a good thing so if you want it - have at it.
I have seen a lot of questions on the boards (here and elsewhere) this summer relating to backdrops and where to find them, how to make them and that sort of thing. Most that know my layouts also know that I make my own backdrops.
With that said, I was going through some of my files and found one that I never used for my own layouts and thought I would share it with "anyone who wants it". Of course you'd have to have it printed which is honestly very easy.
This one is made from 11 side by side images stitched together to give this view you see. I shot this in the Shenandoah National Forest this past spring. The master image is a regular JPEG image file a little over 17 megabites in file size but when printed to size measures 24" x 60". It is approximately scaled to 1:48. Everything on the bottom just below the tree line is scaled the same so when printed to size it can be mounted to the back of a layout and raised up or down to suit a layout section, module or diorama.
Link to full image --> http://jricard.zenfolio.com/p987467797/e6019f828 I have this stored on my photography website and you can just go there and download it. If you want to use it, just save the master jpeg image to your computer and then print or upload to print lab. If you need help, let me know.
Additional info is on the page with the master image. Please remember, this is for your personal non-commercial use. If you use it - cool, if not cool, but do not sell it. If you use it as your backdrop in a magazine or whatever, just credit me for the backdrop art. Joey Ricard! I may have a couple more that I can upload as time allows.
Here is a composite I did to see how it would look when I created it for this module.
And here is a composite I did to check the relation of the backdrop with a shot of the model superimposed. Scale looks pretty good.
Thank you so much!
