B1B Keven Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm looking for a tailgate picture to use for my business cards. High quality, straight on eye level and permission to use. Something like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 you can use this (maybe disguise the LP). I can send the native file if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1B Keven Posted February 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Thanks. I'll forward it to the printer and see what he thinks. Shiny spot above DODGE might pose a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggdad1951 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 As an aside, my brother was PISSED I drove 30' straight into an alfalfa field and backed straight out. No worse than his own kid did with tractors and his beater... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47 dodge 1.5 ton Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Had to read this twice to get your brother’s assessment—-lol. Alfalfa fields are ones pride where I come from, without truck tracks!! Got a nice laugh with that. Nice truck though!

nonstop Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Do you want a nice and shiny one, or a patinaed and used one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1B Keven Posted February 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Used. Eye level. Shiny is hard to work with. I wish I still had this pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9 foot box Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Here is a picture of my tailgate. 47 WD21.

Los_Control Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Just now, B1B Keven said: The yellow gate is cool. Can you take a pic eye level and straight on? Probably about the best I can do. With the lighting & camera I have. I'm facing the sun (South) so there is no shadow ... now the sun is getting in the West there is too much light, losing my shade. Regardless, there is enough light I am shooting blind ... I can not see a thing through the camera lens. Just point & shoot. If I stand up, then you see it is just my junk trailer I keep scrap metal in. I wonder if taking pictures at dark using a flash would be different? .... I wonder what it is like being awake after dark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
