Title: Winter in the Tyne Valley
Post by: KMRennie on August 27, 2017, 09:51:34 am: I was going to call it "Fog on the Tyne" but many won't remember the song and the juxtaposition between grimy Newcastle and this valley in the Pennines would be completely lost. Multi shot panorama Nikon D810 Tamron 24-70 @ 36mm f10. Ken

Post by: Jeremy Roussak on August 27, 2017, 02:42:50 pm: Lovely. I particularly like the faint, distant tree to the right, which seems to create a stop.

Bravo!

PS: I agree with Jeremy about the "last" tree…

I strongly disagree. The far left tree is much too visible now: the white splodge around it is clearly visible in the thumbnail, albeit a bit less full-size.

The original was much better.

Post by: KMRennie on August 28, 2017, 01:31:54 pm: You are correct Jeremy the thumbnail looks odd. In the first version I ussd a darken layer to remove the lightening halo caused by the increased contrast in emphasising the far tree. I need to find an image size that shows brightness "hotspots" but has sufficient detail to allow me to use a softlight layer to subtly dodge and burn. I will be back. Ken
