The photographic adjustments needed to turn this summer shot into a winter composition started by applying a suitably appropriate sky - with Photoshop.
No need for the services of the Twiddlemeister Of Droitwich here!

I'm not one to give you a proper critique, but I do know it is great Photoshop work; I have not even begun to scratch the surface. great job with the editing 
Chris Phillips: Thank you for your kind words - but if you continue to view this mini series you might change your opinion of what is presented here!

Ah, there's no sound like the crunch of fresh snow underfoot on a balmy July day! Well done, sir.
Chris Phillips: Oh you're right there Larry!

It's amazing that you managed such a perfect effect from summer to winter. A beautiful scene
Chris Phillips: Keep watching FLOOG: tomorrow you will see how we did it

Never did like SUGAR FROSTED coco special flake shredded puffed wheat thingies with a plastic toy at the bottom of the packet which you had retrieve by opening the box at the wrong end (un-essential information)
BUT this is very OK Phillips .... Mind you it's hard enough for me to take half decent snaps let alone sitting for hours putting make-up on them. Ha !
How did you get that sheep to balance on the top rail of that farm gate ?

Chris Phillips: It's not a real sheep: just a model - everything's fake, even me!

Magnificent, great summer picture,I wonder what it looks like in winter....erm...erm...there is something wrong here.....erm.....great winter picture, I wonder what it looks like in summer.....erm....man....it is only 7A on a Tuesday......and it will be hot here....
I love the sheep on the gate, great sens of balance that animal has, like Richard said.
Is it one of Sir Chad's sheep, I pity the animal, Chad is already so long at the road....

Chris Phillips: Chad has spent the last two months lying on that road Astrid. He is so DEDICATED to his art!

That sheep should be in the circus! Another stunning 'winter' scene.
I shall be watching closely tomorrow.

This is superb work Chris very clever use of PS- What version do you use?
Chris Phillips: Version 6 at the moment
| Bill Phillips from Droitwich..sunny | 1 Jul 2008, 07:45 |
You are now the Bamboozler of Bathampton. Transforming the seasons with photoshop skills that leave one in awe. But would it not have been simpler to have worn a warm jumper and taken the pictures in WINTER?
Chris Phillips: Oh for heavens sake - that's a RIDICULOUS idea!
| chad from In front of a computer | 1 Jul 2008, 09:25 |
I know you said you were going to do this, Tiff, but with the amount of time involved I can't believe you actually did. Well I can now, obviously.
Chris Phillips: Had it not been for your & Mr Powell's help I would never have succeeded. This series is a team effort - or it is nothing
| anniedog from Great Britain (UK) | 1 Jul 2008, 09:26 |
I'm most impressed with the acrobatic sheep walking the tightrope. Perhaps you could come over here and work your magic - I'm bored with looking at green fields and trees in full leaf!

Great work Chris how long did it take to train the sheep
Chris Phillips: We'll come to the sheep later Vintage
| Richard Standley from France | 1 Jul 2008, 14:18 |
Superb Chris. You did a great job here! That sheep on the gate is amazing.
Chris Phillips: Tied on with wire Richard
| Ginnie from at WiFi hotspot in Atl without dial tone at home | 1 Jul 2008, 14:44 |
LOL about that sheep on the fence, Chris. HA! I know it took a lot of magic to accomplish that, let alone the semblance of snow/winter!
Chris Phillips: You are so kind Ginnie!
| Sheila, in Spain mostly from United Kingdom | 1 Jul 2008, 14:55 |
Another one that leaves me almost lost for words. Looking forward to what tomorrow will bring. I have a slight suspicion as to how you did this - and I don't have Photoshop.
Chris Phillips: It's as well to be sceptical Sheila
| Bill Phillips from Droitwich..warm and a bit muggy! | 1 Jul 2008, 20:21 |
Will these people get a grip! How can it be a sheep on the gate? Look at the size for heaven's sake. It must be a rabbit. In disguise I admit it possibly could be. But sheep it is not. Yes Matron I have taken my pills...yes both lots!
Chris Phillips: Had it occurred to you sir - that it could be a model sheep tied to the gate with thin gauge wire? I want you to know that when it comes to photo-deception our professional team is second to none!
| Aussie from Brisbane | 1 Jul 2008, 22:16 |
Cold just looking at it. Well done Chris, looking forward to seeing how it was achieved.
Chris Phillips: Thank you Aussie
| Karima Selehdar from United States | 1 Jul 2008, 23:15 |
This is great but I really want to know if you open the gate, and walk through, do you find yourself in Narnia?
Chris Phillips: LOL Karima - I wish you did!
