I can't see the bottom of the ruler clear enough

How can we tell it's NBP if we can't see it? None of your measured pics show it clearly. Wasn't there a way to avoid that shadow right over the base?
With a little gamma boost it becomes obvious that your measurement isn't a 100% true NBP. Also the cock/body angle looks fishy, why didn't you just stand, like you
know you should?
Close, but not a legit 8" NBP in my book.
This is the type of meticulous quibbling that is necessary to highlight the little adjustments made to a correct measurement in order to gain a little something here and there.
