    Re: '08 Muley Euro is now home!

    For the curious:


    Under artificial light - Double bounced flash from above and directed slightly behind camera (impromptu umbrella). Exposure value of +4 to allow for travel time. Subject is pulled away from wall and meter balanced for subject only (wall is no longer showing 'true' colour). Whereas before, the meter compensated for total image.





    This one was taken in "open shade" with an exposure value of +1 to allow a little more detail in the shadows. Positioning was near identical as above pic, metering was done as above, also.





    There you have it, take your pic.

    All shots are 'correct', just depends on what lighting ya like better. I just like the wall colouring in the opening pic (less drab looking).

    Thanks for the additional photos. As per your stated rates, please submit your invoice to my accounts payable. And please be patient as that department is understaffed.

    Actually I was wondering about the colour, because I have a rack thats bone white, after stripping the velvet. If yours is coloured it looks real good.

    It is what it is. I personally don't like to alter what is natural - Scars, blemishes, knocked out teeth, all stay "as so" as I believe it adds character and 'builds' the trophy. If I thought a subject needed altering in order to display better, then it likely won't be hung on my wall. But to confess, I can't see any that wouldn't qualify either as I truly admire the stuff.

    Now if you want to know 'how' to darken yours (I can respect personal choice), I've seen Ray do it with horns that were sun-bleached, and I gotta admit, they looked pretty darn good when finished - Give 'em a call and tell him, Elkhound sent ya.

    No worries on the invoice as our Accounts Receivable has a policy of discounting 10% if payment is made within 10 days of postmark - You know, just to be nice. And if things go 30 days, we let Bubba 'handle' it.

    I'm sure that your business, will be a pleasure.



    And the rest of you guyz,,,, Quite using sentences with my wife, and the word 'mount' in them. It's wiggin' me out.

    Bubba's b o r e d and looking for sumthing/someone to do...


    Cheers!
