- Zoomed viewpoint is looking WSW during the afternoon with heavy overcast skies from the northern Nobbies lookout platform (just west of the northern end of Nobbies carpark). Fortunately, I got a very brief burst of sunshine to light up The Nobbies for this shot.

PROCESS INFO

- Digitized using a Canon Canoscan 8800F scanner.

- Image sharpness improved & film grain & noise significantly reduced using Topaz Gigapixel AI at maximum settings (which causes a slight but not displeasing "painted-oil-on-canvas" effect at 100% zoom). - Image colour density, vibrance & contrast restored using Luminar AI.

- Final fine editing using Adobe Photoshop CS (Windows).

- Image size = 7840x5217px [40.9MP] Best viewed LARGE.
