Title: Bedford Picture (I really like this one!)
Post by: techres on August 12, 2012, 07:08:42 PM
Bedford really allows for the scenic and I am just getting skilled enough to where I can do something useful with it's pictures:

We need to get more high res stuff at every shoot possible...

Yes, that is the future of this great country.

When I read the title, I was afraid it was gonna be another picture of SPQR.  ;D

Looking good, techres!  Are you able to do anymore cropping? The other person and the junk on the left are a little distracting.

Also, how does it look when you flip the picture on the vertical axis?  I would love to see the flag blowing the other direction.

I tried cropping but it felt claustrophobic, so I went back to the books and learned a new trick.  This should look better:

As a test for flipping, look at this picture wise, not word wise.  I can fix the words and all, but want to make sure it is really better enough to do the work:

My main concern is that it will make him a southpaw which people will focus on and detract from the message.

I'm not sure what kind of photoshop magic you did on the side, but it seems to have worked.  Much better.

As for flipping the image - I LOVE it now that the flag is going the correct direction.  But you have a point with the sling.  Hmmmm...what does everyone else think?

Cornfield stubble and grass clone pretty good, it seems.

Speaking as a lefty shooter, it's teh awesome!

I like it much better with the flag blowing out towards the right.  As to the sling, I don't think that's something that non-appleseeders (and by "non-" I mean "future") will really notice, and if anyone asks what that thing hanging off his arm is, it's a great way to tell them about how awesome the sling is and how important it is to learn its use.  Also, what's wrong with southpaws?

And I might as well say this before SPQR does, this demonstrates another good reason for people to not have their slings attached to their arms all day long.  ;)

The southpaws' wishes are my command.  I removed the backwards nike logo on the jacket to match:
