MultiCam, Now That's Camouflage!

If they took the picture from any other angle, the shadow would be a dead giveaway.

Mr. Pratwick has learned 'how not to be seen.' He could be anywhere of a hundred places in the scene. Mr. Pratwick, please wave to the camera....

Mr. Pratwick had not learned the second rule of 'how not to be seen,' never wave.

Yeah this picture was pretty easy to see the guy. I'm still amazed by animal camouflage since it's near perfect.

Did I see Frodo Baggins in one of those pictures?

Sorry, just a rock.

The best disguise I can remember is when Johnny Cochraine pulled that black knit hat over his head during his grandstanding during the O.J. Simpson trial. That was too funny! "I'm just Johnnie Cochran in a hat!"

Hahaha, Snappy! For you who don't know, that's a famous Monty Python bit "How Not to be Seen".

To Ali S.: Sure, but the guy's made no effort to hide. He was just standing there and that was hard to see - in actual combat, he'd actually be hiding....

My own tests with Multicam have shown that it is not so hot after all. Check the link I posted with this comment for my own pictures.

That picture does not look anything like multicam. The uniform must have been augmented with pigmentation from the local soil or something to match so well. I've seen a number of other "miracle" photos of Multicam. I've got a set of these, and I'm here to tell you it's not a lot better than the Army ACU pattern in my neck of the woods.

Hah! That's interesting result, viridari ...
