Pictures were taken in Southern California in Summer 2014.  The camera is the default camera on the iPhone 5S.

Camo Test rules:

  1. Back of subject was photographed since the largest continuous area of the camouflage pattern is usually the back of the top
  2. There are 2 sets of backgrounds in this test, a brown, “dry” scrub backdrop and a green tree backdrop.
  3. Subject stands upright in the same position for every set (exceptions are made in some additional photographs to show special observations).  This is not a “Where’s Waldo” test.
  4. Subject was photographed in front of vegetation in background. This is to test the pattern, not the vegetation.
  5. If pants or hat in a particular pattern were not available, the corresponding multicam item was substituted in.
  6. Photographs are not processed except to crop the image to reduce size.  They were saved with the “save for web” function in photoshop, again to save size on this web server.
  7. Camera is the default camera on the iPhone 5S.
