Description

The challenge I'm setting myself for the rest of 2022 is to put together my first ever mosaic, I have a grand plan for the area I want to cover but I'll take it one panel at a time and see how I get on. 

I'm aiming for 6-8 hours per panel, I'm thinking that will be enough time to get some good signal but not too much that I end up stuck on one panel forever. 

Rather than just publishing the final mosaic I thought I would share my trials and tribulations along the way by processing as I go and seeing it build up over time. I may experiment with different colour palettes as I go but thought I would keep it simple to start with and stick with more natural colours in processing. 

Thanks for looking :-) 

CS all.
