L3324temp Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I like the new format as well. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctay Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 What made it discouraging before was how Robin Taylor wanted every article written in his format. I can think of at least three articles that were attempted to be sent in and rejected because it was not in the "focus on three stages about the match" format he wanted, so we stopped trying. That's not an issue anymore... Start writing again! Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I was photoshopped out as well, I think it makes the image far less cluttered. The original image is on page 3. Kim asked me if it was ok to adjust my photo and I was happy to approve the changes. Well, that explains the shadow behind Jerry Yeah, it may be my former career background, but I have an ethical problem with removing data from a photo -- it's a lot like lying.... In fact my first reaction to seeing the cover was "Nice staged photo, too bad they couldn't get Jerry actually shooting the stage...." So, if that was an actual run -- it didn't translate that way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yep, it was an actual run... I don't do staged photos at competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark R Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yep, it was an actual run... I don't do staged photos at competitions. then why is his belt completely empty? No reloads planned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norther Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yep, it was an actual run... I don't do staged photos at competitions. then why is his belt completely empty? No reloads planned? That was a stage with all ammo staged on shelves, IIRC. I got my issue yesterday. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yep, it was an actual run... I don't do staged photos at competitions.That's what I figured. Digital manipulation of "news photographs" is frowned upon in professional circles. (And yes, sports, business, etc. fall into the broader news category, though they are subspecialties.) As far as I'm concerned, Front Sight provides editorial coverage of USPSA, and other issues, pertinent to the organization. I don't know how seriously Front Sight takes editorial ethics -- or if anyone's ever really given it thought/has even a rudimentary journalism background/education -- but I would not be o.k. with them running a manipulated image I had taken.... I'm not throwing this out to flame anyone -- rather to suggest that conversation take place among the editorial staff and or regular contributors....

BritinUSA Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 then why is his belt completely empty? No reloads planned? Stage 7 was an unloaded start, it required two reloads with a revolver, there were just two targets at the final position (where the photo was taken). Videos of this stage and many others are at LiveShots.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shilberry Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I agree, it's so much better than the previous issues. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicosmos Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I never got the new issue. Hoping the Aug/Sept issue finds its way to my mailbox. Also: Yes for a digital version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I never got the new issue Contact USPSA maybe they have the wrong address on file, or it got list in the mail, either way they will probably send you another copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
