Grip and Grin Pictures I don't really care for.....

[Outwestoutdoors]

Great thread! Quality pictures will keep memories forever. A little bit of thought can make a huge difference in photo quality. One thing I have had good luck with is to lower the aperture on my camera to leave all the focus on the animal and the hunter.

There some great thing's in here. I don't take photo's of dead animals anymore. Lot of people take really great one's But I got tired of seeing the disrespectful one's of the animals. So if I want a photo of an animal, get it before I shoot it. This might be to big to put in here. A photo a nephew took in Africa of a wild leopard. I think this is a much better photo of the leopard than a photo of it dead.

I wanted to revive this thread as it has a lot of good info in it. I by no means am a great photographer, but I did learn a lot reading thru it and realized what mistakes I was making. Lately, on this forum there have been a lot of photos being posted that could of used the advice given through out this thread. Seeing pics posted like this one just make me cringe and it takes away from the experience you are trying to share. Please review the tips that got shared here so you can have good photos to share down the road.

To the OP of the pic, sorry, it is a good example. You shot a great deer. What I am talking about is the muzzle pointed at your head, the bloody mouth open, and the orientation making it an almost vertical hill. That all takes the viewers eyes away from of your success that your trying to show. A couple quick minutes staging it with that background you would of had an awesome photo.

The muzzle pointing at his head was the first thing I saw.

No, this is a fantastic picture-it has a guy taking a leak, a dude with two hats on, a dude sitting on top of a dead deer, blood everywhere, blurry sticks between the camera and the subject, I could go on...

The guy in the background was apparently not impressed with the deer wrestling rodeo.

That’s my brother taking a leak. He is a walking Tinks 69 scent bomb.

Took this picture last week in Wyoming. For the record I posed this picture up just for the Grip and Grin thread.
