I have no problem with staging for pictures. Bobby Chiasson at The Drum Farm stages drums in meadows and in other nature settings. Optimizing the drums against an appealing background is a great way to catch my interest. Now, the real issue here is that those BTS (beat to s__t) drums are extremely overpriced for what they are. But, a good laugh has been had by many of us.
When I see the drums sitting on the ground I don't give a damn who does it.
Bobby tends to use natural backgrounds in a lot of cases, and his pics are beautiful.
I do disagree with this shot of his, or any other in the grass shots.....
Bobby's got the good sense to clean up afterwards, I'm not so confident of other sellers though.
I'm a picky old f-a-r-t, whatever..........:D
