On a bright and chilly Sunday afternoon, IB and their compatriot Kirsty set off in a car with minimal music gear, a digital camera, an idea that we needed a field, and just enough enthusiasm.
Magnus had in his head a fair idea of the scene that was required, the only questions that remained were
Arthur's Seat, a fine looking chunk of rock (i.e. a hill) in Edinburgh with Royal connections, seemed like a good place to find such a scene, as long as the Queen would let us set up a drum kit there.
So we arrived and ran hither and fro on the steep inclines getting searingly frozen lungs and fell over a bit and got muddy whilst trying to look arty making frames with our hands. The crowds were very impressed already. This was obviously a professional photo shoot with a major music group.
We didn't have much luck running up and down the hill, and eventually we found a good spot about 200 metres along the flat road from where the car was parked.
Here's the photograph we finally used as the source material:
A few modifications in Paint Shop Pro later:
And a final tweak to the colours using MS PhotoEditor:
