Photoshopping a tree

Photoshopping a tree
Mr Pearce says photographing a giant tree is inherently problematic. "The biggest challenge … is the fact that it's 80m tall," he says. "Generally, cameras don't really work super well at capturing something that's so large. "What we do is actually set up a camera system that can travel the height of the tree."

I inspected the properties of the multi-screen image:-

That's impressive! I assume that the original photo montage is much larger.

I would think so; I am still struggling to work out how to hijack this thread into Photochopping

Sadly, the image does NOT make for good wallpaper on my screen.

. At first glance it is "just a tree", but when I consider that the bushes at the base are serious trees, or at least what is left of them, then the size kinda grows on me ...

You'll have to buy a portrait monitor with a 24:7 aspect ratio...

A portrait monitor with a 24:7 aspect ratio?
As far as I can see, portrait monitors are really landscape monitors, which means that every time the wallpaper changes (I have eight in rotation at one-minute intervals), I would have to do that weird Ctrl+Alt+Shift-LeftArrow thing to rotate the screen image, and that means I would have to spend at least one minute every eight minutes programming in VBA - the only real use I can see for a tall thin screen.

By the way, do you have an estimate on how many trees would have to be chopped down to support the manufacture and transport of such a monitor? In carbon-tons, of CO₂, preferably.
Thanks awfully,
Chris

You might resize the image and tile it on your landscape monitor, creating a forest of giant blue gum trees.

Can't be done, sorry; there can be only ONE tallest Blue Gum in Tasmania.

It showed up this morning as a lonely Tuckamore.

Most Word documents are composed in portrait mode, shirley?

True. But since my laptop does not (yet) support the nifty screen rotation Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Leftarrow thingy, I will an extensive amount of programming time in programming in word/vba around this deficiency. Probably cheaper both in time and money to fly to the soccer pitch and chop the blasted thing down, Roger, since i already own a portable reciprocating saw that might do the job.

As a photo editor and designer this suggestion, and the stretching one, make my heart bleed. I do not endorse this message.

No, No, NO!
It's the picture that gets stretched, not the editor.
Nor the designer.

I'm afraid I have to put my foot down here, Chris
