How to use it:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

3. Specify a background image for the container and enable the parallax effect by calling the plugin with optional settings.

<script>
var basePhotoURL = "http://lorempixel.com/600/450" // background image
