first I want to see if people notice what is strange about this picture (which I'm sure people on this site will...not sure if Joe Blo would) then I'll ask if people would do the same thing......but for now...... http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=54240

No rope although you forgot to clone out the end attached to the harness.

That didn't take very long...as I figured...now my question is does it look better with the rope removed? I thought the rope looked kind of distracting, however when there is only two of you out climbing it's pretty hard to take a picture of someone from above without the rope in the picture. Here is another shot (not exactly the same one) with the rope left in....which do you think looks better. http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=54380

Let's ask dingus. :lol: I say rope in. That way, you don't look like a tool who freesoloes in his harness. :P

I know I didn't completely remove the rope. Yes you can still see the end where it is tied in. Yes I also know my photoshop work isn't perfect, I didn't spend a lot of time on this, I only wanted to know if people think it looks better with or without the rope. Then I'll decide if its worth the time to remove the rope.....so I'm not asking for a critique of my photoshop work, or of the photo....I'm only asking in a situation like this do you think it would look better with the rope removed?

What Zozo said. Now will someone please tell me how the hell you do that? I've got a ton... A TON!!!!... (well, 3, actually,) of photos that I'd like to play with and do this sort of thing (remove an object, and make it look close to normal. I gotta admit, I'm fairly competent with computers, but PS 7 is kicking my ass with the learning curve. I stand in awe of folks like ColdClimb who have it mastered. I am certainly not worthy. Thank you.

leaverbiner apparently you've never climbed in the Canadian Rockies....or you're just really dumb (probably the latter since you can't even spell the word helmet). And it's probably safer to go without your lid on lead than seconding....noone is above you to knock something down. Also if the leader gets knocked out the belayer can still lower him down. And who said this wasn't the first pitch of a long multpitched gear route? (it's not but you have no way of knowing that)

In reply to: leaverbiner apparently you've never climbed in the Canadian Rockies....or you're just really dumb (probably the latter since you can't even spell the word helmet).

And who said this wasn't the first pitch of a long multpitched gear route? (it's not but you have no way of knowing that) Classic!!! (1) Learn a sense of humor! I could care less if someone wants to wear a HELMUT on a 25 foot sport route or doesn't want to wear one on a 10 pitch 12+ chossy gear climb . . . personal choice. (2) Dumb huh? interesting. I won't go there, but suffice it to say, I spelled it HELMUT for a reason. Inside joke, so you can SUK IT (3) I think the bolts and draws gave away the fact that at least this pitch is BOLTED. Also, see comment #1! Get off your high horse, don't fall into the rc.com trap of thinking you are better than everyone else that posts. Get a sense of humor; or are those not permited north of the border?

Both photos could benefit from a better understanding of the Rule of Thirds. Also, it just looks silly with the rope removed.

the helmet while free soloing..right??!! well it initially seems retarded but really its not...I mean you might get some rock fall from above that may not knock you off...you may deck and be completely crippled but at least your mellon is intact and you are alive and not dead...etc...would I ...no I wouldn't

my personal opinion is that if you are going to remove the rope then take the quickdraw out as well

I think my camera even has a setting where it will impose those divisions onto the viewfinder i guess to make it easier to put the subject on one of those crossings thanks for the tip i am going to try using it

First thing was that he skipped the last draw, as I thought the rope lay in a crack or was just out of view. Now that we know you PSed the rope it makes sense. Very nice work by the way very unnoticable. I like it without the rope, a better shot. So long as you don't run around spraying about the lead climb that was actually a TR, I could care less about brushing out the rope. If is enhances the picture, who really cares. A good shot is a good shot. I would have knocked out that tie in point too and called a free solo :-) Keep shooting and we will keep voting, and the bombers will keep voting everything a 1 except their stuff that sits back in the 6's.
