He/she would have no reason to only use the clone brush on the back only when extracting the image. I teach this stuff, and this is one of the first tools I teach my students when making selections. That "selection" of the deer has areas that would DEFINITELY have rough edges once cut out that would need some minor (or major depending on experience) touch up done with the clone stamp. Not just the back. What about the tail? What about the hoof? The dirt in front of the hoof? Why is that perfect? I think the back is just tufts of hair rasing up on the back, but we will see because the guy has sent it in to a professional company (the same one that cracked the world record hogzilla hoax), and they will be analyzing it. I doubt it's fake.

Some of you guys really need a life. I have transparent deer on my game camera that weren't shot, just moving. I believe it's real, but could care less.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

X 2.
Every other pic that gets posted on this forum gets the royal shakedown from all of the self-proclaimedPhotoshop expertslike nobody really kills a big deer legally or catches anything decent on their trail cams in real life.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Cool Pic! [/align]

RE: Check out this picture...
 

If I recall right...I am not reading 14 pages of crap on AT again...but I beleive his relative said it was shot with a rage.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Yep, on the South Carolina forum where this was originally posted they said it was a Rage. In fact they said he sent the pic to both Cuddeback and Rage to "see if they could use it". Cuddeback said it was too graphic. They didn't say what Rage's response was.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

I believe it as a fellow photoshop expert.....ok...photoshop novice....fine I have see a photoshopped picture before....but I believe!

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Rage probably said it wasn't graphic ENOUGH! :D Must have been the 3 blade.


And I'm on the record too for this being a real picture. Ok, carry on.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Somebody get the kid in here and have him show it to us straight off the deer cam.;)I think it is real. ****lly had a pic like this from his deer cam and the same transparent affect happened to the deer.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Well heck...Kelly's must have been fake. I am sure he photoshopped his. What is the chance of that guy shooting a big buck like that for about every year that I have known him on these boards (back in the days of KCISON). Now I have to go back and search the pictures he sent me for evidence of a photoshop job!![8D]

No offense Kelly!!;)

RE: Check out this picture...
 

That is a great picture! Looks like a good shot to!

RE: Check out this picture...
 

It has been checked by several real experts and looks to be legit.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

its a fake. you can see through the deer

RE: Check out this picture...
 

IBM...you're on crack, no offense. If you want the original, I still have it loaded. I didn't photoshopmine.

Who knows, I don't know the guy, but I do know it's possible with cuddebacks that's all I'm saying. The thing that kind of got me is all the positive comments on AT, when mine got jerked in about 30 minutes as a fake. Rick James even tried to defend me and they pulled it.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

I don't know either way if it's real or fake because I have zero knowledge on the technical side. On the side where I've cut myself before, there was no blood til about a quarter of a second later. That deer has a good 3 inch patch of blood on his fur. How did that happen in the split second he jumped up into the air?

***shrugs***

Anyway- ding ding ding... experts, come out swinging!

RE: Check out this picture...
 

I've seen plenty of deer shot on video that spurted blood at the first move after impact........A couple Drury vids come to mind recently where they are shooting Rage heads.
That picture absolutely looks legit to me, its the split second right before the legs come back on a "Mule Kick"

I do love the every so often reiteration of it being fake because you can see through the deer. LOL does anybody actually read the responses before they post? :D

And for what its worth the kid and the deer are from Wisconsin not South Carolina.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

looks fake

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Not buying it one bit! I have starred at this picture for atleast 15 minutes and I cant see this being real. I have also gone to the SC DNR and depending on what zone this guy lives in baiting is illegal according the law.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

UHHHH Baiting is illegal in SC :eek:

RE: Check out this picture...
 

DOES ANYBODY READ THE PREVIOUS POSTS??:eek:

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Baiting illegal in SC?

News, to me....

OK....I think it's real. Call me a pushover. I KNOW Kelly's was real.....because we know Kelly.

I think the same thing's happening on this photo that was happening on Kelly's. I think the arrow on both photos is on the way back OUT.

And...like Matt....I think that it's completely plausible that we'd see blood at this point....and lots of it. If that arrow struck the off-side and is backing out....it's gonna have some blood preceeding the shaft.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Haha, I should really go back and edit the way I put Kelly/KY's name.I'd have thought somebody would have picked up on it by now. Unless I am the only one with myhead in the gutter.:)

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Looks to me like a deer that was laying on the ground an placed in a trail cam picture with some fancy work.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Sure.

Flesh wound. He'll live!

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Not true spanky, I have been taking professional photos for over 30 years and I still believe the photo has been manipulated.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Ok, I just had to dig it up. This same thing happened to Kelly/Ky last year. Notice the transparency when shot. If experts have looked at the picture and said it looks legit, then I would have to say that it is real. Oh, and as for the bleeding, the same thing happened to this deer too.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Hi there, I am the one that posted the pic on AT - I am a member at this site andthere. Some questions answered:

Logan (15) shot the buck and a few days later; pulled the chip and brought it home and found this as one of the pics.

Rage broadhead (not sure if 2 or 3)

Deer was shot in WI (not in SC)where it is legal to hunt over 2 gallons of corn (we have no idea how it ended up at the SCsite so fast)

The pic has already been provided to Rhonda at Stinky Journalism for analysis as well as Brian (Logans dad) talked directly to Rhonda tonight.

Brian and Logan are writing the story behind the whole hunt as well as providing at least one additional photo and this info will be posted assumingly tonight or tomorrow on archerytalk.com (sorry about the redirect from this site)

I will offer the same thing here is I did on AT - if you want a copy of the original file for analysis - PM me.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Spanky? Not sure what the point of that was. Some people resort to name calling when they realize they are wrong.:eek:

RE: Check out this picture...
 

ya it looks fake. Not a good fake either heck i could do better and i am not that good at photoshop. Never saw asee through deer in the woods.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

So Kelly's is a fake, too? Is that what you "fake" guys are saying?

RE: Check out this picture...
 

i have not seen kellys pic but the one in the post looks fake i have never seen a pic of anything where you can see through a animal or person or what ever

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Thats gotta be real...What does being able to see through the deers body or it being blurryhave to do with anything? That happens on occasion when the deer are moving quickly.

Here's an example from my moultrie this year:

RE: Check out this picture...
 

I think this will answer your question Matt.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

I just posted it right before you posted saying that it was fake.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Honestly, what does it matter to us if it's fake or real?
If it's real, awesome picture.
If it's not real, great photoshopping job.

Kudos either way.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

You know I still like you kelly!! No worries!!

RE: Check out this picture...
 

I have a pretty long background in photography and I agree that this photo is completely plausible.

The ambient light cause the images of the trees to be registered first; the animal jumps and the flash trips and captures the image of the deer frozen in midair. The timer on the camera would naturally have a very slight delay before causing the flash to trip...thus the brighter light shining through the trees would register sharp enough to be registered first with the overlay of the animal captured by the flash. The flash does NOT fire as the precise moment that the lens opens to capture the image. It is essentially physically impossible.

As to the blood...try those Rage broadheads and see for yourself. They lay that animal wide open instantly. By the time it coiled and jumped, that much blood could easily be beginning to exit near the entrance wound because of the pressure created on the lung area from the deer recoiling to jump...and it has to recoil first to jump.

This era of game trail cameras is a new era. We'll see more amazing photos of shots and I'm sure we'll have people who simply can't believe that such things could happen. If you've hunted and fished long enough, you should know that the truth is a whole heck of a lot more unbelievable than anything you could make up.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

I bet I'm thinking of the same exact video. I watched that thing in slow motion about 10 times. I think mark shot it, the deer had really tall g3's (if i remember right) and was walking right to left in the video. blood explodes out of the deer on impact. it was actually kind of gross.

I think the pictures is real.

RE: Check out this picture...
 

wow nice

RE: Check out this picture...
 

Ya has to be a rage blade, notice the little penetration, any other blade would be sticking in the ground. probably a mathews bow as well.
