Herlad Sun lift out

Postby agriffiths on Wed May 05, 2010 11:38 am

One of my twilight aerial photos just made the cover of yesterday's Herald Sun lift out for the new AAMI stadium. Not quite front page news, but close :lol: .

It's the front page of that magazine. That counts if you ask me.

Nice work! :cheers:

Ha, without getting into that debate, Melbourne was the only one honest... or stupid enough to write it all down.

I think the second statement is about right et al, the only team stupid enough to get caught. They should have taken lessons from the Rorters...sorry, the Roosters. :biglaugh:

Now now ....

And swiftly setting this thread back on topic ... it's not a front page: It's the bloody cover. I'll take that. :)

I think it's just deserves, you're aerial shots are fantastic and now you've made front cover of highly distributed media. Congratulations. It's all up up up from now on :)

I don't often take that much notice of covers etc, but I will tell you that when I saw that one I thought "Nice photo - I wonder how/where it was taken from".

Well done!

Thanks for the kind words :) I believe they are putting this image up on billboards around the precinct today so I'm heading out to see if they look any good. The first game kicks off tonight and the stadium is still being finished!

Perhaps this angle makes it look more "front page" ;)

:agree:

Can I ask what resolution file did you provide for the billboard? Did you have to up-size your file and what process did you use to upsize?

I just provided the full res D3x file. I believe the agency uses Alien Skin Blowup.

Another aerial shot!

Please post an image of the billboard, if you can. I think that would be cool too.

I didn't get a chance to visit the arena today and couldn't be bothered fighting the crowds now. I'm heading that way tomorrow and will check it out.
