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. :lol:

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."

Many thanks all!!

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

Just ordered it to be printed on canvas 24 x 16 inches

and it turned out shit :(

The canvas lost a great deal of the detail, and because the tones are quite subtle they didn't render well.

We're going to get it done as an 80 x 50 photo print next
