I want to hear your opinion on something I saw this last week. I watched a guide take a "hero" shot with a wide angle lens and about 2 feet away from the hunter and deer. With the wide angle lens, he was able to make a 25" wide, 160 buck look like a 32", 185. I didn't even know this technology existed. I guess its equivalent to looking through a fishbowl, stretching the image. I know people have been holding racks out in front of them forever, but this go's to a new level. Do any of you do this, and I'm just slow to learn? Is this common practice among all the big guys? I will not say who this is or the outfitter, I'm just curious on what you think.
It's been sitting in my craw for a few days now, and I think it's fraud. This same guy is going to try to book hunts off of these stretched images. Shady advertising has been going on forever, but this, IMO, is wrong.
I didn't know if the Campfire was the best place for this, but I don't like going anwhere else.
