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

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.

OWENS ORIGINALS (http://www.owens-originals.com/)

PRO STUDIO SUPPLY (http://www.prostudiousa.com/index.aspx)

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 :)

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