Pro |
Con |
Pro |
Con |
=
In Historical Ft Worth
=
Closer to town
=
Less driving distance which will
hopefully get older Vettes to
participate
=
easier to tie to 100%er lunch social
|
= Not
final Photo (Bkgd)
background will be
imposed
=
shoot must be on Sunday
= Will require rented lift
=
would require to move the lift to
the BB lot to shoot the background early
in day for sun direction |
=
Would be final photo (natural
bkgd)
=
zero cost (possibly even lift)
=
would require the photo shoot to be in
the AM |
=
We used TMS in 35th
=
Less arrangement options
=
Doesn't represent Ft Worth and history
= no
room for holograms |

02-08-14 Site Visit /
Mock-Up
A trip was taken to revisit the
Stockyards to analyze use of other areas |
|
|
|
|
|
Our
previous trip looked at the Truck
Parking Area east of Billy Bob's - it
isn't predictable
It also has a cost
of $250 for Saturday and $200 for Sunday |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
We
went back across the street to look at
the larger parking lots for options
The second lot north is large enough
as shown below - it would require a
desired background
to be dropped into
the photo via Adobe Photoshop (like was
done w/30th) |

Allen Shanholtz
with a mocked up "hillbilly lift" (Carol's
nickname) - gave us a 15' elevation (1/2 what we
need)
we used a 77 Vette "traditional
grouping Page 2"
The
Bowtie layout was discussed - several CONs
 |
we set the lift where the trees didn't
interfere - we could not see the front
corner cars |
we backed the lift up to the point where
the trees interfered - still no front
corner Vettes |
 |
|
|
to
make this location work, we need a
wide-angle lens and a
different layout like THIS
I'm not sure how much skyline
we would get shooting "down" on the
grouping with the wide-angle lens - out
of my field of expertise |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so we
scouted the area to look at other
alternatives - across the street |
|
 |
location 1 - would work
...we think we really need to have the
coliseum centered for best look |
would work - dependent on no horse
trailers in the way - like the camper in
this one |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
location
2 - would work |
fair backdrop
the area is a little
more desirable in Location 3 |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
location
3 - would work |
then with some Photoshop magic, we put
this skyline as the background |
 |
|
|
to
come up with something like below
(very rough) |
