This week has seen a mixture of activities. First, I have updated 2 of my ‘transition time lapse’ videos (see also the previous post). Below I show a couple of the stills used for the November section of each. These show the scene after an unusually early, but short, fall of snow (which didn’t last!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have also been playing with creating a large montage of photos for our lounge – we wanted a large (45″ x 30″) image to put on the wall. I had an idea of creating a montage of hundreds of smaller images created from the thousands I have taken at the gardens East Ruston Old Vicarage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below I show the start of the first idea – it didn’t work so I abandoned this approach – it needed more of a central focus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First version that became obvious it wouldn’t work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Second version that looked better (at least in print) with larger images around a central full-size view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A third version combining elements from the first two: very small images in the corners and around the edge with medium size images surrounding the same central view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am now waiting for the full poster print size print of version 2 to be delivered – this worked OK at A3+ size but it will be interesting to see the full 30″x40″ version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has also been an interesting exercise in processing the images: creating hundreds of them in the small sizes required (300 x 300 px, 700 x 700 px and 1500 x 1500 px) and then loading them into Photoshop. The final jpg versions were about 50MB in size but the Photoshop psd files were up to 1800MB in size!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
