Sialing Round the World

[GBO25]

I took this shot before the start of the local Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race then thought I'd have a bit of fun with it.




So I opened it in Elements 13, changed the height dimension to match the width ( so that it became a weirdly vertically stretched square image).

Then I flipped it vertically before using a polar co-ordinates distortion filter on it to make it circular. Final edit was to crop away a lot of empty space around the central sea and yachts.

Strangely I don't know why the sky ended up the colour it has given that it started out blue???

Excellent!

That's novel Graham and a well thought out title. I like it.

[JohnRostron]

Impressive and ingenious. Its one of those "Why didn't I think of doing that" ideas!

+1 to John R's comments Graham, well done mate!

[Shadowman]

Nice effort.

[GBO25]

Thanks guys.
By the way can anyone tell me how to edit the title line of a thread if one of the words is spelt wrongly? Like Sialing instead of Sailing. I can edit the text within the thread but not the title.

Hi Graham, I think you can click and drag to highlight the title, then delete and write again? not 100% sure but give it a go

Nah, didn't work Dave.

Sorry mate, we all know what you meant anyway

[Barbara Ponder]

Like it! Very different and works well.

Do what David said but "Go Advanced" first. That's what I have to do to change the title in any of the competition threads.

I like the idea

You are stuck with this title, Graham...live with it for now and watch your spelling on your next post...

Yeehaa, that worked.
Now everyone will have to edit their Re: Sialing around the World replies

I like the misspelling. It is weirdly delightful twist on a weird (but delightful) rendition.

Well, ok to the corrected title! This is a delightful rendition.
