Semi opaque header on photographic background

I saw this technique recently on a designer website and thought it was a nice effect.

See demo.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Sticky footer</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body
{
font-family:Sans-serif;
height:100%;
margin: 0 auto;
color:#000000;
}
#container
{
padding:6em;
opacity:0.8;
filter:alpha(opacity=80);
}
#background
{
position:absolute;
z-index:-1;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
h1
{
font-size:6em;
color:yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<img id="background" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/4945221855_b1675bb80a.jpg" alt="Tiffany Camera 2" />
<br /><br />
<div id="container">
<h1>The Header</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
