How Do You Make Panoramic Photographic Backdrops?

photo backdropsKen asks readers:

“I see some pretty amazing backdrops on RR’s, but not much discussion on how to make the picture. I’m no Rembrandt. I thought about large format printing. But where do you get a photo that will cover the distance in HO. Panoramic? Also the era? What paper or plastic type? Glue to what board for minimum warp. Etc???”

Readers can upload a photo of their backdrop using the ‘Comments’ link.

Here is my Rockies transition to Italian Dolomites. This is S scale by the way – looking for kindred spirits.
