Over the long months of lockdown, I've become increasing attracted to the work of Frozen Mutton Farquharson (Google him if you're not familiar). Having just invested in a new camera system, I'm interested to find out what it can do, and how I can get the Farquharson feel. Being 2021, my new camera system is, of course, a phone. Although I chose not to add virtual sheep to this image, just like Farquharson's landscapes, this view does not really exist. For the first time for years, I set an alarm before dawn and ventured forth in the gloom to capture the vision inside my head. As so often when I plan a landscape outing, dawn didn't happen today, just gloom plus not enough mist to be useful. Thus this image is synthetically constructed, much as Farquharson's were. Computational photography meets Farquharson's landscapes.

6 portrait orientation images, each composed of 4 median stacks, composited into a panorama. Orton Effect added to counteract the gloom, plus a little more synthetic mist.
