AggieDave 6 #3 October 10, 2004 The edge of the door on the bottom isn't quite right, it looks like you photoshopped the ground in or possibly some clouds out. Doesn't look like too much wind is blowing in the door either. If you sharped edges of the door then smudge tooled the edge of the door just a hair then added just a hair of blurring it'd probably take care of it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #6 October 11, 2004 Quote The ground is still focued slightly different and it makes the depth all seem wrong. I was mainly talking about the pixilation of the door frame, where the editing wasn't clean, but yup, the focus on the ground is a bit different then the plane. A bit of blurring is another easy trick to make it work better, as I'm sure that you know Phree, but others may not.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

quade 4 #7 October 11, 2004 The ground focus doesn't bother me too much, I can buy that as the ground being in focus and there being a lack of depth of field for the near objects. What does bother me is that both the foreground and background seem to have a moire pattern as if they have been scanned from a magazine photo. Note the carpet and duct tape in the airplane and the light brown (plowed?) field in the background photo.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #8 October 11, 2004 Paul, our Otters are actually carpeted with a grey carpet that has a cordoroy like appearence. The lines appear like that all the time. The silver line is actually just like what is used in a house at the difference between carpet and hardwoord floors. Its got a stupid pattern too. I'll accept the moire as compression for the web.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ematteo 0 #9 October 11, 2004 The wide-angle lens distortions of the plane/people and the ground look like they are centered in different places. i.e. the people look like they were filmed with the camera pointing at the digital alti, while the center of the ground shot looks like it is left of frame.

AndyMan 7 #11 October 11, 2004 QuoteEveryone's reading too much into this, the obvious issue is a belly flier smiling. She's similing cause the "bitch" is about to be "tossed" from the otter... The orignal is attached. No, it's not a cloud violation, the background is overexposed. I inserted a the ground from another shot. The problem I saw - and couldn't figure out how to deal with - was that the barrel distortion from my sigma 15 caused curved roads, and the pattern is inconsistent with the distortion in the frame of the door. The doorframe curves concave, and the roads curve convex... so to speak. This stuff is fun. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ematteo 0 #12 October 11, 2004 Couldn't you take another picture for the background? Manually set the exposure for the ground/outside but aim inside the door. Just a thought... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ematteo 0 #14 October 12, 2004 Sure, but he only needs a background that is consistent (distortion-wise) with his original shot. This inside part will be cropped / replaced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #15 October 12, 2004 I could, but I would need to wait until next weekend when I get back out to the DZ. I don't have an otter handy during the week. Taking a background from another shot seems like a pretty good solution, especially since none of you guys noticed the issues with the barrel distortion of the roads. I do need to clean up the bottom of the doorframe a bit... _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He noticed it, and it was the only thing that I really noticed. Can't you fix that by rotating the picture that you shot of the ground. Its just on the wrong side I think. Just 180 it and it might look to follow the curves a little better. I think there are some photoshop effects you can use to adjust how the picture curves.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

AndyMan 7 #17 October 13, 2004 I missed ematteo's earlier post... my bad! Thanks for the tip. I had to rotate, then vertically flip the ground shot. It looks great now... http://www.shutterfly.com/progal/slide.jsp?auto=0&aid=768a5498cf54bd7a5fb4 _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
