Title: New to the forum
Post by: cameraguy on October 11, 2008, 09:16:23 PM: I'm new to the forum, I go by cameraguy. I live in eastern Oregon, not far from the Steens Mountains. I enjoy wildlife photography, hunting, fishing, etc. Looks like you have some great photographers on this site. I've been checking out the pictures and reading a lot of the posts. Looks like a place I can get some good tips and techniques on taking better photos. Here's a few pics. I took last year.

I wonder if I get a "finders fee" for pointing you to this site...? ;) The buck in the first picture is big. Very impressive. The action on the second picture is great chasing the ladies. The third picture is a really great capture. Love the lip curlers.

Tips? Doesn't look like you need any. Regarding post process, I love new tips and tricks. I try and only sharpen the animal. Seems the grass turns out a little jaggedy when I do a global sharpen. I guess it depends on the image.

Post by: WonkyWapiti on October 13, 2008, 12:39:35 AM: Very very nice. I was gonna leave my camera at home tomorrow when I head out to Eastern Washington for muley hunting. My skill is nowhere even close to yours or Pope's but you've changed my mind so I can get some more practice in taking nature shots.

Post by: boneaddict on October 13, 2008, 01:34:43 PM: Those look like the bucks I want to take pics of this fall in your neck of the woods. I think if I could just add 5 more days to November it would be possible. I think Pope might even twist my arm. I f I get a quick one on tehthe ground with my permit I know I will be heading your way. Great pics and welcome to the site!!!!!!!!!!!
