Took with a point and shoot camera in the field. Photos in the field beat all the rest. Always carry it in my pack. Ken

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   :)   ):

 

Ohio 1994:

 


Iowa 1999 (Post LASIK surgery):

 

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

2004 Iowa:  (I REALLY like this picture) - early 2 MP digital.

 


2006 Iowa:  (Don't like how the antlers blend with the jacket, otherwise good pic) 5 MP digital

 

2008 Iowa: Really nice one here - 5 MP digital - Its nice when the weather cooperates...

 

2008 Indiana: My wife took this one - she has an eye for it.

Might want to try and scan them and send them to someone who knows photoshop....maybe they can lighten them up a bit. [/b]
I know a bit about photoshop.
Send your scanned pics to me and I'll try to doc em up.

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.

The rack needed just a bit more tilt to the left to free it up in the blue....this is why you take LOTS of pics.

The only problem with this photo is I look pissed at the world.  Really the sun is shining in my eyes and Im trying to smile but am being blinded at the same time.

Same deer different angle.
