PEAX Equipment

Photo Regrets

Sorry I can't help fix your old pics. I can thou be mad about this pic. Notice the tounge hanging out, plus the bloody mess from the said exam from the rear. My wife did the best she could in photoshop. I guess I could crop out the hind end. Oh well just a good reminder of what not to do. Damn, sucks!

What is so depressing about having the good fortune of taking a lot of nice animals?? At least you have pictures to look back on. Looks like you've killed enough animals that I bet when you stumble upon a photo, you think to yourself "Oh yeah, I forgot about that one." Personally I think too many guys are obsessed with taking the perfect picture. For me it is all about the smile in the end. Don't get me wrong I try to take a good picture, but I still suck at it.
 
This was my AZ coues deer. I set up for a field pic with the suguaro desert in the background - click - dead camera battery. Settled for a day-after backyard pic. I still hate looking at these phots.

This one is even worse. My dad with his bighorn - 1984 - this is the only field pic taken of his ram.

That bighorn photo has to sting a little.

Fowl- Just depressing the pics suck and I didnlt take the time and or equipment to get it done right. Anymore it seems the pic is just as important to me as the rack. I can't sneak the rack to work and stare at it:D

Besides when I am a old miserable man in a nursing home I want a big stack of pics to look at instead of staring at the wall pissed off.
 
Miller this one is better, knee pads with a sheep........................................and I accuse guys from MT as the culprits:D

Nice shaded face as well.

Definitely add me to that list.
I started packing a three dollar disposable in my pack about five years ago, wouldn't even come out of the package until something was dead.
Before that I never even took pictures. Which sucks, all I have is the racks off my first handful of deer and nothing off my first elk.
The picture taking wasn't horrible with the disposable, just ridiculously poor quality.

And last year's buck. Forgot the disposable in the pickup this time.

And here's the doozy. Brother shot this gal last year, and this is the first picture taken, after I got out of class with my again, disposable.

Here is a good example of better equipment. Taken in 2009 and then 2008, posted in that order. The better zoom on my newer camera really gets in there.

Joe,

I think your avatar, the self portrait of you in front of your hunting rig, really tells us all we need to know about your photography skills. I will say I was impressed when I met you in ND a few weeks ago and you pulled up in that same truck, tank top and shades. You were exactly what I expected!!:rolleyes::D

I had another witty comment, but forgot it when I saw your last post with the hot chicks!! If mtmiller didn't call dibs, maybe you could hook up a fellow Hunt Talker?:hump:

Miller has been sending me PMs ever since I put that 1st pic up last year begging for my address. I would say he has dibs but get with him.

You have to be on my deck, in the summer, evenings only to get a glimpse. I have never seen her in the winter...........ever.



I am so bored.
 
Damn! Miller has enough hotties in his neck of the woods. Keep you eyes open for me.
 
I can play this game. I didn't really indulge my hunting addiction until around 2001, and it took a long while to sink in that I should carry a camera in the field. I only have post hunt pics of my 2004 buck and a crappy field shot of my 2005 buck (Though it does show off the hat that Miller's sister gave me). Man I love north Idaho.

That second picture is great. And a great buck as well.

The first picture is what I am talking about.

NHY I think AZ402 sent that hat up to me when he was done.

All this scanning is actually turning out to be a fun winter project. I actually kind of dig how the older photos look scanned. Still wish we would have had a 110 instamatic in the fanny pack.

My father must have taught me how to wear a hat:D

Who taught you guys how to put up chainlink fence?

Nice buck for you, and your dad's buck looks like it kind of always slept on one side of the mountain. You got another angle on that rack?
