Japanese Backdrop Scenes

[kvp]

Is there a large resolution panoramic picture of Odaiba looking from Sinbashi or the Shinbashi skyscrapers with Odaiba in the background somewhere on the net that I could use as a backdrop?

If you are N Scale, 12 inches is probably high enough, don't know about OO, sorry

Would you be able to post links to the images you found so the rest of us can be jealous :)

Sorry Lawrence, but for some reason I missed your post.

The website I found is http://www.yunphoto.net/en/

This is the picture I will use.

Thanks Sascha, I think you might struggle with the perspective on the night time shot, looks like it has been taken with a fish eye type lens, the second one is a good image if you can disguise the water, might be goo as a distant city behind a rural or semi urban line.

Thanks for the suggestion. Didn't thought about it. I'll look for a different one. I do like the night scenery.

So I'll just post it here for now, but there are multiple topics on this subject....

 

Anyway, I just found out that there is a Japanese company selling backgrounds, but they are very expensive though:

Thanks! How might one edit out any modern details, to change the panoramas to look like they are from an earlier time - Photo Shop or similar?
