Working closer.
« on: March 09, 2009, 09:08:11 PM »
Time to start some new photography threads.  Here's a shot of CameraGuy working his mojo to get close enough to photograph some bulls with his 70-200.  When its foggy, like it was that morning, getting close is the key to clear shots.

I've got a few but most are on film or slide.

I'm thinking he was about 30-40 yards.  Using that short lens he gets up close and personal with the critters.  Sometimes he scares them off and lots of times he gets some great shots.  

huntnphool-
At least you got Shawn's good side. :chuckle:

 Here's a shot of Ricochet
I'm thinking he was about 30-40 ft.

Here is Tony Bynum taking world class sheep photos on a cliff.  I didn't have the kahunas to go up there so I took long range photos of the action.   ;)

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I was just glad he wasn't doing something stupid like BA'ing me or peeing.  Maybe it will be his birthday present from me.  I'll make a poster of it.
