Sheps sunset
Shepherd's lookout last night. I'm thinking of having it printed on canvas for the M-i-L's b'day pressie, your thoughts?

Are you kidding? He ran out - took a quick snap and then ran back to the house to filter, phase, blur, sharpen, highlight, colour correct and otherwise photoshop the entire thing. 
Very pretty - reminds me of Constable for some reason
"ran" = metaphorically speaking

It's call "developing" Meade. Welcome to the 21st century.
I'd bet he took oh 50-100 "snaps."

Guin, I bracketed two of the 120 exposures I took and overlay them in photoshop, to give the correct exposures for land and sky.
