Booth shot critique need

Okay I am finally agree on the necessity of a good booth photo for the better shows. You all have finally convinced me. Here is a booth shot that I did before it snowed and I have editied it in Photoshop 7 for image size, border and little touch-ups. The first photo is unedited and the second one edited in Photoshop.

  • Thanks Jim & Larry for the input.

     

    Back the camera up: I can not re-shoot the pictures as we now have 4" of snow on the ground so would have to wait until spring which is to late for applying to most shows. However, I did take quite a few shots of which I ended up keeping 6 of this layout.

     

    Cutting off parts: There are two photos that don't do that but they also show a little of the outside grass and part of the sandbags and also looked a little out of square but maybe could be used.

     

    Overlapping items and re-arranging I can't do either until spring. I do like the idea of moving the table top on the right wall to underneath the two table tops on the back wall but wonder if it wouldn't then look cluttered.

     

    The cloning on the back bottom below the table and the panel bottoms is not the best but my Photoshop talent is not the best either as I don't do enough of it.

     

    Larry, I know that you do this as part of your business, if I sent you the 6 images I have could you look at them and see if there is one you can work with? If so let me know how I should send them to you.

    • Hi Robert,

      I sent you an email with instructions to e-mail me the images and to give me a call.

  • I think cutting off parts of the pieces is a little disturbing. Back the camera up and bring back the outer edges of the pieces on both the left and right. Actually the shot needs to start out wider to correct the distortion at the edges without cutting off the edges of the pieces.

    Both side walls have items overlapping other items. From the camera position (tripod?) I'd rearrange the side walls so nothing touches anything else. Back piece on the top right should move under the two on the center panels. That will give you room to spread things out. On the left side there's something there that you can only see part of. Remove it or reposition so you can see the whole object.

  • I'd crop out the extra white at the top. But the overall layout is clean, looks good. The focus in on your woodwork. The Kokopelli tray seemed a little hot in the before picture, and I think you toned it down a little, but can't be sure. The cloning under the back table in the center where you took out the wood blocks is a bit obvious and might be handled better. Removing the crutch tips on the carpet panel ends is also a good idea, but I think that could be done better as well.

    Mostly it looks good, though. The arrangement of objects is good, nothing stands out glaringly and it gives a good look at how your booth might be at a show.

    • Thanks Jim, would you still leave the frame so that it shows that it is a tent and not a indoor booth setup.

      • Yes. I'd crop it just above the tray on the left, and leave the top framework. But the white above that isn't needed.
