1. For this picture, i took 2 photographs, so that i could make a large one by merging them together. I took my tripod, set t up and took a close picture of the bottom half of the cathedral, and then moved the camera up, and took a photo of the top half of the cathedral.
2. i put the two images onto one canvas, and used a combination of the clonestamp tool, and the heal tool to merge the two pictures together. it was harder than i thought as there was a lot of little parts that were always unaligned!, but i got there in the end, by resizing and chaning the perspectrive slightly.
3. I did not crop this image again, as the cathedral is the main part of the picture, so was not needed.
4. I adjusted the colour levels, and the saturation levels to brighten the picture up, as it was a hazy day, and the colours were a bit bland.
