Title: Your best photo of game taken with trad gear
Post by: yukon chuck on September 22, 2010, 08:01:00 PM
I thought it might be cool if folks posted photographs of themselves with game taken, or perhaps just the game alone and maybe your bow laying with it...whatever.. In an effort to do a better job myself of taking these photographs, I thought it might be cool to see the different angles and set ups that you've all done. Might be a great way to help us all become better at taking these shots. If you can remember any of the details, such as the size lens used, flash or no flash, etc..., please include that as well.
Thanks,
Chuck

Here's a buck I took in 2007.  He never knew what hit him...he didn't make it 40 yards and crashed!

I enjoy photography and really like capturing the moment of a hunters success on film. Here are a few a LoweBow and his 2009 buck. This is exactly how we found the deer.

I like this photo because I can see everything that replays the hunt in my mind. An arrow my daughter and I made, my longbow, and my first elk. I would have liked to clean up the animal some as the other pics I have are a little blood. Shot with a Cannon Si1100 with a self timer.

I never have worried much about what I threw in my pack for a camera but this year it got me.  I killed a nice 7x7 bull with my longbow last Tuesday around 6:30pm.  Although the sun was barely going down the junk disposable I was carrying didn't expose any of the photos from up on the hill so the only photos I have are from the next morning back at camp.  Not a huge deal but for people who love the photo memories I recommend carrying a little better camera...Shawn

Ok I'll play.

This is kind of a morbid photo but I sneeked in on this young goat and shot him in his bed at 30 yards. (very long shot for me) The snuffer hole was just too cool to cover up...

Might want to try and scan them and send them to someone who knows photoshop....maybe they can lighten them up a bit.

I don't know much about lenses.....

But, I can tell you to watch out for anything blocking the view....saplings, grass, leaves etc. Watch for the sun spots on you, your animal, and the ground around....try to get all sun or all shade...half and half don't look good.

And get low for the pic....and get lots of shots from several angles.  

It might take 10 pics to get that perfect one.....but that perfect one will be special.

Some set ups I have done with the selftimer on my favourite game animals. And I guess these are some of my favourite pics.

I am not a photographers you know what, but there is nothing I dislike more than a photo of downed game where no time or effort has been put into setting the animal up for the shot or to get the camera in a half decent position for a self timed shot if hunting solo. If you shoot something the night before and don't recover till the next day, fair enough, but if it is a fresh kill then spending a bit of time setting the animal up makes for a far better photo.
I like to try and set them up so you can see the horns, tusks or antlers of the animal.

No big game just varmints. The coyote not the best picture but was the most exciting .Strait on chest shot at ten yards.

Take the time to carry a camera with you and take plenty of pictures as you will regret it years from now, no excuses since we use digital !

A button buck (or so I thought) from last year that actually turned out to be a young buck with both antlers broken off.

Ok, I'll limit this to some of my whitetails.

Couple of the "rules" for hero pics I like to follow:

1. Display the animal to his best advantage...but don't get crazy.  The fish eye lens closeup that makes his rack look 4 ft wide tends to be over the top and turn me off.  If he was big enough for you to shoot you don't need to try to inflate him too much.

2.  Take PLENTY of pictures - should be a no-brainer with digital.

3.  Take some flash pictures - even in the daylight - the pics I end up liking best are virtually always fill-flashed.

4.  Take pics in the field prior to field dressing if possible - they turn out much better.

5. Almost forgot...the ANIMAL is the focal point of the picture, not the hunter - keep this in mind and when you set up the pic center the animal in the shot.


OK....here goes....

Ohio 1991 (my last year of High School   :)   ):

Iowa 1999 (Post LASIK surgery):

 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/RyanRothhaar/Iowa99.jpg)

These were "point and shoot" film pics...back in the day of "take 2 rolls and hope for 1 good picture".

I never have worried much about what I threw in my pack for a camera but this year it got me.  I killed a nice 7x7 bull with my longbow last Tuesday around 6:30pm.  Although the sun was barely going down the junk disposable I was carrying didn't expose any of the photos from up on the hill so the only photos I have are from the next morning back at camp.  Not a huge deal but for people who love the photo memories I recommend carrying a little better camera...Shawn

Another angle....Wish I'd have taken this buck to a field and either gotten green grass behind it or blue sky.  Just remember....the more jumbled up the background and low contrast the harder its going be to see the horns.

I regret that my bow is not in the photo, but we
were tracking on Sunday, and since there is no hunting on Sunday here, I didn't want to risk any issues with the law.

The springbok was 'technically' a terrible shot. She was laid down behind the buck I was shooting at. When they heard  shot, unfortunately he ducked & she stood up. Missed him complety & hit her taking out every artery above her heart. She didn't even take a step.

This is a free range Rusa Deer 36+", killed in Queensland,Australia.
For that specie, i didn't found any report for a bigger stag harvested with trad gear. I was so happy....

Buck taken with the first St. Judes Hope bow-Really bad composition-a good example of what not to do when taking a picture.  The antlers blen in with the grass and the coat.  I should have moved him into the field and used some logs to prop him up.

These are just the ones I have on photobucket....I tend to take or have taken as many pics as possible.  I can't imagine anyone not "savoring" the moments, good or bad, they are all precious memories.  Even if they are never seen by others, and most are not "worthy", but all tell a tale to me.  

Again, no particular organization of pics, just some of my faves!

This is one of my favorite pics.  Not a big deer at all, in fact, it is the smallest buck I have killed besides a button buck.  I like it for two reasons, my boys, of course, and the bow is Miss Hope 2010.
