This image was for the Series One Tree Hill and is a standard backlit "out the window" backdrop. The image was stitched from several photos, edited to remove unwanted power lines and color corrected.
This image also came in a night version where the sky was replaced, the foreground elements edited, and appropriate lighting in the windows and on the street sold it as a night scene.

This 74'x16' dual backdrop was created for the Series Under The Dome. The day images were shot during the late winter while in Pre-Production. The sky was grey and there was no foliage anywhere. I shot the image, stitched it together and then removed the lens parallax from the stitching process. Significant editing was required to add leaves to the trees... All in front of a synthetic sky generated in Photoshop.
Once the Day Image was complete, I coped it and edited the copy to be a street immersed in darkness. No power means no light sources, except that of ambient light from the sky. Density is an issue with an image such as this, so I had it produced using a "Double Strike" technique to increase the opacity for backlighting.
