aphperspective Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Any military buffs please, is this french or english cavalry from napoleonic times. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Park Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) I think it is British (not English) Light Dragoon uniform from Wellingtons army. Pic too small to read the info on the saddle roll behind the rider - it may well have the regiment identification info. - assuming the uniform is completely authentic. Just checked the saddle roll id on your on-line shot, it’s the 12th Light Dragoons. Edited March 24, 2018 by Malcolm Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thanks the uniforms are authentic they go to great trouble down to the last stitch so to speak. Usual thing only one lense with me at the time . Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 The lettering on the saddle roll is X11LD i am assuming thats a division of the British Light Dragoons. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) I might have tried a tighter crop version on that one as well, assuming you have the pixels to spare. Maybe a vertical crop for a magazine cover? Edited March 24, 2018 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 A vertical crop is something a picture editor would recognise and could do for himself, but a tighter crop will make the thumbnail image stand out a bit because of course the horse and rider will be bigger.

I can understand that, unfortunately the original was shot in JPEGL and just checked if i crop it to much only gives me 4.5M - 5M which i assume QC will reject on size. It was a day out in the park and the crowds were kept well back and i only had an 18-55 kit lense on. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Minimum size is about 3000 long side (I go to 3250 to be safe) so I agree. You could upsize a bit if it's spot-on for sharpness but a RAW would have had more potential. Another reason to consider switching to RAW? I never looked back. They're just sharper.

aphperspective Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 That's the annoying thing, i always shoot RAW normally and can't recall the reason for shooting otherwise, unless i was fiddling with settings and didn't double check. All wise men in hind site, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
