I have this pic, and I want to do a dio with this as a background. But how would I go about blending the two.
I was goint ot do a base with groundwork, and this pic secured to something and on the back.

Let me know,

Chip,

be very careful with this.... the blue light in the picture has to be done in the dio too. This means that you'll have to paint the dio with blue tones, otherwise you'll kill the blending and leave it with two separate parts...the dio and the background.

It's better/more easy to get a neutral coloured background.

How about if he shot the photo with blue gells over the light source?

If you try make sure your light source is relatily in the same spot as in the background.

Photoshop is the place to blend them.
Here's a site that has some good tips and tricks in PS

I took this pic yesterday afternoon. It was pretty light out, and the house is of like 1906 vintage I think. I thought it would be pretty cool. I can't figure out why it turned out kind of blue. I mean it was still pretty sunny, bu it was also near sunset to.

My first impression is that the starkness of the photo would compliment some battle weary or retreating troops slogging through the snow, heads down, not in orderly file, etc.

I planned on having my Wirbelwind sitting in the snow, the crew on look out for fighters. And that bare house in th background.
