[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Instead of the river, today's image was taken on the Grand Union Canal, which also flows through Northampton.

This the last of 13 locks, in the space of about half a mile, known as the Rothersthorpe Flight.

Some people have commented that they appreciate my notes, and as this one has a bit more work in it than most of my images,here goes:

With the Camera:
Circular Polariser, and Grey Graduated filters.

Photoshop:
Select Sky, adust levels.
Select Land, adust levels
"Shadows and Highlights" adust, (twice)
Color balance adjustments
Increase saturation.
Sharpen, then fade sharpen to 50%

Neatimage.
Remove some noise in sky

Photoshop again
Apply the "Orton Image" technique to create the soft, painterly effect. Then quite a lot of burning and dodging to seperate areas to get it looking even, and bring out the detail.
(I've put the non-orton version in the workshop for comparison)


Photofiltre:
Add borders and text, resize.

Photoshop:
Save for web.

If I understood Photoshop better I could do it all without jumping between all the different programs, but there go - Maybe one day!
