Last Stand at Butte City

The setting is a period frontier, and the plates were shot with modern things in them. Most of the job was taking those out: ridge buildings and a dirt track, a pale outbuilding on a hillside, a modern car on the horizon, a blanket on the street, debris on the trail. The rest was putting things in — a period-correct wire fenceline built into the plate, a flock of birds in the distance, flash and recoil on a fired rifle where none was shot.

Every shot appears twice, once as the plate and once as what shipped; move across the frame and the seam shows the difference. The blood stain is the one addition worth a close look: the same stain in two shots, matched across two shot sizes. The target throughout was zero noticeable edits.
