Re: Realtree camo. Seen it before?
You have to remember that those photos were staged by the camo manufacturer; individual results may vary.

Each of those photos was heavily post-processed to enhance the blending effect of the colors too. HDR photography can be used for a lot of things besides pretty sunsets.

I've had realtree products for many years and they are good, but IMHO not that good. Those colors do appear to be balanced or blended together a bit more than what is natural.

Re: Realtree camo. Seen it before?
There was a brand of camouflage clothing called Bushlan that mimicked cedar. An friend of my brother's tried some out down in Big Bend and Willie donned the overall and face mask and gloves then wailked to a clump of cedar about 50 yards away. T they all told couln't detect him, (it was actually very good camo) and as he was walking back was speaking to them my brother said "Where's Willie?" "Anybody seen Willie?" Even when he was a couple of feet away they would pretend they couldn't see Willie. They kept it up the entire two week trip.
