Creation of a Custom Background

Photography process
z Photograph in raw mode and use a wide angle lens… If possible convert file
in 16 bit mode
z Photograph at a normal standing view… Look for areas that have depth and
few light traps…
z Compose scene so background area is about 60% and foreground area is
40%
z Lighting… Photograph when the light is defused and a subject can be
photographed key left and right... If camera has a contrast control set it to
it’s lowest contrast
z All objects that are vertical, other than grass must be in the background
area otherwise it will appear flat...
z If you don’t have a wide angle lens... With the camera in a horizontal
position and on a tripod Take an image of the background area then pan the
camera to the floor area and take a second picture... Make sure both
images overlap so they can be merged together...
