......... then you just have to adjust your plans.
My ARPS panel has been in the thinking about, developing ideas, stage for a while and I hoped to start working on it this year but one essential requirement is the ability to get to my chosen locations numerous times per year and preferably without a lot of people about.
1. With the current Lockdown rules, travelling to any of the prospective locations is forbidden as it wouldn't be for a permitted reason.
2. Until Furlough ends and/or people can do something other than visit the countryside the odds of several locations being people free for the amount of time required per shoot are highly unlikely.
My planned final images will hopefully combine the techniques of the photographers Pep Ventosa and Stephen Wilkes.
Rather than waste time kicking my heals for numerous more weeks/months I have decided to explore the techniques I plan on using in the studio.

| Tulips Day 1 Hour 1 |
Whilst the final image from this session probably won’t end up in my panel, as the other shots should all be landscapes, it should at least give me the opportunity to develop my Photoshop skills. It will also give me a chance to work out how I’m going to start to compile the hundreds of photographs that I will be taking just to get the one final image that will make up one of the 15 images required for the complete panel.
The image above is just the first session of several that I will be doing to end up with my hopefully final images showing the tulips from when they first arrived in the house to when they die. It also currently only comprises of ten layers, but I still have another potential 36 layers from this shoot to add before I start deciding how many layers and at what opacity I should start working at.
Steep learning curve ahead.
