Guest guess Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Guys ,I'm just a guilty as everyone else here of taking bad pics at one time or another! But I would like to see all that change.I make a conscious effort to do the best of my ability to take clean pleasant pictures! I realize that we may not always have a camera with us in the field ,but once we get to one we can make an effort to find a bush or something nice for a background ,instead of the back of the truck or hanging in the barn or garage. If you like those kind of pictures that is fine, your choice ,but I love to see tastefully done picture in the field of any critter! I've taken several pictures of the same hogs to show what I mean. you tell me what looks better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos the top one is a 1000 times better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos Yep, I'm guilty too. It wasn't until I joined this web-site and started viewing other peoples pictures, that I decided to take a little more time with my own too. They just look so much better and 10 years down the road, they are nothing short of great memories, for passing around in the scrap book.

Tominator Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos Point well taken. This past year my buddy kind of looked at me weird when I said "OK, let's haul him out of there and get some nice field photos." The deer I shot this year dressed at 223#, so to haul his butt in and out of the truck and back up again was a chore, but I'm glad I did it.

Shaun_300 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos Yep, field photos are the way to go. That's something I need to improve on... making the animal sorta "look pretty" for the picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slughunter Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos that top photo is the best by far. here are some of my photos by "the success tree" its hard to see but its just a big pine in the background. they look pretty good to me. we never have a camera in the feild when we need it and i love taking the pics at night with the dark background.

billkay Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos I think it's a matter of personal pride to take the best photos of my game as possible. I'd rather have no photo than what I consider a poor one. Congratulations to those of you that take the few extra moments to make a better photo. Here's what I thought was a good shot of a buddy's 1st buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagobbln Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos I agree with you guys. In the field pictures are the way to go. Like many of of you, I'm sure, you sometimes hunt alone and often there's no one around "in the field" to take a picture for you. With a lightweight, portable tripod and the timer feature on most camera's you can still get some decent shots. These are my turkeys from last spring, all taken in that manner. Spring '05 #1 Spring '05 #2. Probably would have been a better picture without the big chaw of Redman! Spring '05 #3. My partner and I doubled up so I still had to take the picture with the timer.

need2hunt Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos I like taking field shots as well. Most of the time I'm by myself so I try to remember to keep a tripod in the truck. Heres a few of mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockefeller66 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos here are a few of my field photos, that is the only way I like it done!! This one was taken at our hunting cabin but we still found a good background! These ones are from my buck that I got this year bowhunting, we took quite a few pics at the spot the deer died, just wiped off the blood and the colors are great! This one if from my first turkey last year! My 12 year old sister was with me on the hunt and took the pic right at the spot i shot the bird! Then also when we take a deer we like to take a few pics with our timber in the background! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: taking in the field photos My son is my latest photographer Decent field photo, except for the lack of a smile. Good example of trying to keep your eyes open when the strobe flash is going off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
