Question about Skies of Terra Volume 1

Hi, I have a question about this product:
http://www.daz3d.com/shop/skies-of-terra-volume-one
I can't tell from the screenshots, but are the backdrops digital or photos of real skies and trees?
I am not partial to photographic backgrounds and wanted to find out from someone who owns it before buying.
I can't really tell from the pictures...
Comments
They don't look like photographs to me. They are more like artistic interpretations of photographs. Here are some renderings I've done with them. Also, be aware that they do not come with a shadow catcher. You have to add your own if you want realistic shadows on the "ground". I got one on ShareCG. I think DimensionTheory's later product Urban Recreation is a much better product. I haven't tried his latest "skies" product. Urban Recreation is more like a photograph, but it has been processed to be "semi-toon".
Thanks for the comments. I think I'm going to pass on this. With so many pa's stuff going 50% off right now, I have plenty on my wish list! =-)
Greetings,
Just to note, Skies of Terra is one of my go-to lighting sets. It's excellent, and allows me to smoothly transition my scenes back and forth to Reality or 3Delight renders, as the variations work very similarly.
I'd never thought to do the shadow-catching thing with it, but that seems to have worked surprisingly well.
