How to make something look large

Hi,

this was really usefull for me. I often had this problem. I will definitly follow your advice when shooting the next time something where size matters

Here are some conclusion. Please feel free to continue this threat:

• "It's all about scale". Add something so the brain can understand the size. Grass in the foreground is not enough.
• "You might place a known something in the middle distance, like horse riders, or a vehicle, or cattle to give scale to the whole thing. And possibly something in the foreground to help frame and lend distance to your rocks."
• When I create panoramas like this I try to emphasize the size of the object by reducing the amount of sky and foreground.

• "One of my 'cheap tricks' for horizontal panoramas is to stretch them vertically. They seem to look more like the way I remember the scene that way.

  In Photoshop: Image>Image size>select 'resample image'>deselect 'constrain proportions', and then change the height but not the width. You might give up some image quality doing this - I've not noticed it on large prints, but then I've never luped 'before and after'."
