I know that myself and Tara love this place, as well as a few others on here...
so I thought I'd share my stitched together photo of where I spent my Christmas.

A Beautiful place called Tarn Hows (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=Tarn+Hows&ie=UTF8&ll=54.390366,-3.030038&spn=0.00962,0.019312&t=h&z=16) in the Lake District, here in Cumbria.

or for the Full Size one. (http://www1.webng.com/richiesv/tarn%20hows.jpg)... WARNING 'tis a full size photo 3566x800 and a 2.5Mb download.

Thats a cracking photo Richie, thats about 20 mins from where we live, I know I am biased but Cumbria has to be one of the most beautiful places in the Country.

Did you take the pic? I might just have to get that printed out and framed :D

yes all 4 photos and then Stitched them together.

I've got a huge full version one if you needed better quality for a print out.

I'm also getting it printed out, but I'll have to wait to get back to work for that...

Photoshop
File , Automate, Photomerge
then pick the photos you want to merge together.
it does the rest for you.
then just titivate the finished result.

B@stads! :)


teehee..


the link has changed as more photos have been added so you'll have to look for It...
I wouldn't waste my time now as the size is so small you lose all the detail.
