Dan Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 This is an image on the Mt Hood Meadows website right now. The shadow on the upper edge of that rooster tail looks iffy to me, what do you think? And is there something off about the body position and the apparent edge angle?

dgCarve Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Snow spray is taken from different photo. Very bad blending job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunSurfer Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Not so sure. If Photoshopped someone has gone to the trouble of putting accurate cord reflections on the ptex surface near the nose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a spot on the mountain where you might get that cord with that backdrop - I think the groomers use it to turn around or something. It often has perfect groom, but it's above the top of a lift so the only way to ride it is hike up. Hiking up only gets you about a 50 foot run before you're back at the top of the lift, so there's not much point and the groom stays fresh even late in the day. The funny thing is I wouldn't have thought there was enough pitch there to build enough speed for the turn she appears to be making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if she's sliding and not carving? You guys need a hobby! This is not photoshopped. There's no reason to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflection is done in a screen space. Never seen some a weekend warrior with so polished snowboard - usually rusty, dull edges, and oxidation all over the base And curvature of the bend snowboard is weird too...

barryj Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 All photos are Photoshopped to some degree thes days. Photoshop tools they probably used at a minimum... clarify, curves, sharpness, backlighting, contrast and crop to start........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yes, like some think world is flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Edges Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) What do you mean the world isn't flat??? LOL The front leg looks painfully out of alignment with the binding angle. The spray also has odd shadowing. Me thinks, Shopped (puts tinfoil hat back on...) Edited March 14, 2020 by Rusty Edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordmetroland Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 The nose of the board is not the nose of the board...other than that, it’s totally believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Photoshopped. There would be more spray particles beyond the obvious boundary of the spray trail here. Also I agree with lordmetroland, the nose is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
