Posing a picture.

[woodsman196]

When you guys are taking pictures of your take, what ever that may be, what do you try and do to make a nice photo? I hunt by myself often so I am looking for advise on taking pictures with out someone in them that don't look like pictures of a dead animal I just found in the woods.

Whereas this should probably be in the photography forum, I'll try and help anyway. I would certainly prop up the head on a rock or a stick or something----then we can all see how big it is. Make sure you fill the whole frame with the subject, and put your bow and maybe the kill arrow in the shot. If your using an SLR, you can adjust the exposure a bit according to light conditions---less exposure for direct sunlight and more for darker conditions----and a warming filter helps a lot, too.

Hold the head to one side out of line with your body,that way all parts of the antlers show up better. Keep the camera lower,pointing slightly upward. Oh,and be sure to smile,the guys in the Gang hate it when you dont smile.
