New village sign

A friend of mine did the artwork for the village signs which were first erected nineteen years ago, just after we moved in (and I joined the Rippingale Village Design Committee).
 
Since then they have faded somewhat and the PC have decided to renew them. 
 
Unfortunately Phil doesn’t have the original artwork, and the copy that he sent to me for the website logos is to small to use for production - and he didn’t like what he had done before anyway (artists . . . !).   So he is in the process of redoing the artwork from scratch.
 
He’s got to the stage where he needs the outline digitised so has asked me to do it.  Normally I scan Phil’s artwork but this is far too big so photography is the answer.
 
No problem except that I lost a couple of hours with distorted images before I realised that Adobe DNG converter was making corrections that didn’t need correcting.  I finally got a square image by converting the raw file in Dpp4 and saving as a tiff.  Production is now producing, and Phil has his images.
 
Unfortunately Mrs W stayed in the bedroom all morning keeping out of COVID’s way, and I forgot to tell her that Phil did not come in anyway.  Well she had a few extra hours in bed, didn’t she . . .
 
 
Just booked our (joint) COVID jabs, and now to buy some onions . . .
