Backdrops and background images

Some want to be in the spotlight while others prefer to stay in the background. But everyone has a role to play. Without a background that sets the right atmosphere, providing a resting place for the eyes yet guiding the mind in the right direction, the star of the show stands alone.

I've selected a few images that I think would work well as backdrops or background images. You can use them as they are or add effects like blur.

Take a look here and see if you come up with any great ideas.

Images that don't fill up the whole screen. They're great for using as a background when you're doing green screen keying, for example. I'm sure you've got more awesome ideas. Just go for it.
