Mirage each in four different images and then vote in a poll underneath that on which pattern out of those two you think blends in the best. Using a bastardization of the AHP, we’ll be showing patterns compared in two’s for each of the four terrain locations we shot in.įor instance, you’ll see Multicam vs. We had wanted to get down there originally, but couldn’t commit to the 14-hour drive from the D/FW area right now. We plan on doing this entire test again (with more patterns) in the Spring down in Big Bend National Park. The region has open prairies, sparse and isolated granite mountains and red rock canyons.
We know that the Wichita Mountains are not the most ideal conditions for a comparison to Afghanistan, but it’s the closest location we had to us that resembled the terrain. One last thing before we get into the comparison images. Lighting varied somewhat between Friday and Saturday, with Friday being mostly overcast and Saturday being partially foggy due to a front that moved in Friday night. What’s also great about Flickr is that you can view our sets as a slideshow, which you may find easier when comparing the images below. For more specifics on our images you can view the properties on each individual image on Flickr.

Master images are available on our Flickr Account but are copyrighted and not free to use without permission. The photos have not been altered in any way by Photoshop or any other editing program and do not even include our watermark. The white balance for the photos was custom set using an 18% Grey Card in each location.
We tried to shoot as close to f16 as possible, which we’ve found to be the sweet spot for focus and depth of field on this particular lens.
Our photos were shot on a tripod with a Canon EOS 40d using a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM. This was to ensure that the lighting was realitively the same for each image. We shot 10 different Camouflage patterns at four different terrain locations, with each location having a different distance (as notated below).Įach of the Camouflage patterns was placed on a torso mannequin and each location was completed in a matter of just 15-20 minutes. The comparison took place in various locations within the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Lawton, Oklahoma Friday December 11th thru Saturday December 12th. Here’s how we’re going to do that… Comparison Specifics There are a lot of other nuances of AHP that we’ve decided not to get into, or place into our comparison, but we thought that holding polls for the patterns would be a better way to narrow them down into stronger candidates. Basically the decision makers (our readers) systematically evaluate various elements by comparing them to one another two at a time. We weren’t familiar with AHP at the time and did some research from an iPhone to learn more. He suggested first using a dummy, which we already had decided on doing and had with us, and second using a statistics technique called AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). We know you guys have been patiently waiting for the results of our comparison, but before we get right into the photos, we’d like to explain how we’ve set things up.Īs we were reading through the comments in the post announcing the comparison, we really liked the idea presented by Riaan Rossouw.
