The Making of "Bridger"
Back in 1974, I bought a Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic F camera. I lived on the edge of town in
Bozeman, Montana. It was only a 15 minute drive up to the Bridger Bowl ski area
in the Bridger range. I had a season pass and went skiing several times a week.
I stopped off to take a few photos with my new camera one day. The photo of the
house was off to the right (east) of the road. The photo of the mountain was off
to the left. This is a typical look for these mountains - they get a lot of powder
snow and the winds blow this snow around.
Anyway, this is just a bit of practice using the clone brush. I moved the house
to the other side of the road. The lighting's all wrong, of course - the sun should
be shining on the mountain and the lighting on the trees is obviously different from
the lighting on the house. I'll bet a lot of people wouldn't even notice that (I didn't until later).
Still, I should have mirrored the house image before doing the clone. When you see
a photo in a magazine that has little mistakes like this, you can be sure someone has
been fooling around with it!
