Panoramic technique - leant from Karen Duckworth (session 2 on Photoshop ) (unit 1 part A/B/C)

Castlerigg Stone Circle- Photograph taken by Nikki Dolphin

 Panoramic- discussion re main points of interest you were drawn to when picture was taken,
ie. texture of moss, lichen etc on rocks, The place Castlerigg is spiritual and mystical, 2 sets of rocks at side of pics creating 'frame' to cluster of central rocks etc.

cropped to create more focus & enhance use of rocks as fore, middle & background points of interest, attention to where eye is now drawn,

compared to original etc. used alien skin 'Kodak E100s high contrast, blue shadows' filter, 100% to enhance detail of moss etc & create more ambience.

Top line of other things we covered discussed shooting in RAW v's Jpeg - raw converter in photoshop.

Photoshop tools - dodge & burn, healing brush, shadows & highlights, brightness, contrast etc.
Rule of thirds etc.
