Inexpensive Camera Shots

[AlaskaHunter]

My hunting partner is a professional photographer and takes awesome photos.
I have only cheap cameras but sometimes I get lucky.
This grouse was taken with a 20 year old digital camera from our upper deck,
I was lucky as the grouse was only 5 feet away.


And this grouse was drumming in our backyard.
Took the photo with a used "bridge" camera I bought on EBay for $150.


Interior griz sleeping on gravel bar 300 yards away (cheap bridge camera with 50x optical zoom)


For dog photos, I typically use an the camera on an older phone because I carry it for GaiaGPS/ONX.

Coots at about 200 yards. I wonder why they pack together in a tight raft in open water?

Sweet! When I lived in Utah, we shot lots of cinnamon teal, but never a colored up drake. Was this a January drake?

Spring migration has passed it's peak here in Montana.

Mallards are mostly paired up, found a goose egg this past week.

From this morning's hike. Preening canvasback from about 150 yards.
Inexpensive bridge camera I bought used for $200.

Black bear at about 150 yards.
There are 2 mosquitoes behind the bear's ear if you zoom in.

This cardinal and chaparral got close enough I was able to take some good pictures with my cell phone.
