Tailgate pics.

[B1B Keven]

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:

you can use this (maybe disguise the LP).  I can send the native file if you want.

Thanks. I'll forward it to the printer and see what he thinks.

Shiny spot above DODGE might pose a problem?

That's what Photoshop is for.

That shiney spot is ME!  Hard not to be reflected on a shiney black paint job!

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...

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!

I'll have the print shop put a smiley face over yours Mark. ?

Do you want a nice and shiny one, or a patinaed and used one?

[B1B Keven]

Used. Eye level. Shiny is hard to work with.

 

I wish I still had this pic:

   Here is a picture of my tailgate. 47 WD21. It’s on this easel, I can widen the frame and take another picture if it would work for you and the print shop. Rick D.

Bottom left with the reflectors.

Looking for something with character.

I do have one swinging in the breeze .... set up in the back store room now .... it is a little shiny though.

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?

I meant squat down and get eye level with the tailgate.

Something like this folks, but without the reflection:
