Thanks Zach. We started a wildlife picture thread over at the “lodge”. I’d like to see a few of yours and others favorite shots from this year.
🙂 Mike, I haven’t had a chance to meet you, but my compliments to you on those great shots. Right up there with the best I’ve ever seen.
Thanks alot guys!!! Zach it means even more coming from you buddy. BTW I’ve been bragging about your backlight shots to everybody. That is some creative thinking dude!
I can’t tell you how many times I had my finger on the right mouse button and the pointer hovered over the add Nikon D80 Camera bundle to cart button. Its an urge I fight almost weekly now…
Here’s a link to my photo board for anyone interested.
http://www.trophyfishingtn.com/coppermine/index.phpMike, those are truly wonderful photos. Looks like your had some great opportunties this year and took advantage of them! I always enjoy seeing some depth of subject matter. Thanks for sharing.
For those of you wanting to increase you skill in photography, I’d say shoot…shoot…shoot.
I’d be interested in knowing how many shots you think you took this year Mike–if you kept track. I set up my software to keep track of cumulative shots, and found I’ve shot about 2,000 photos since June. One photo shoot about 300 shots. I’m getting about 1 really nice shot to every 100. Shooting a fair amount of angler action, it seems even if lighting and settings are right, there is always something I don’t notice in the composition that ruins a shot when looking at it later.
Sometimes too I get lazy, and it just requires taking the effort to get the camera out and think creatively. This is definitely one of the more creative boards, thanks to Zach, Mike and everyone, and I’m learning.
Seeing the bee pictures makes me want to ask, what’s the technique for good photos of insects swarms, for instance aquatic insects in the air. I know the lighting is important, either some backlighting or low angle side light, but any special lenses (super wide angle perhaps to get in as close as possible) or techniques?
This fella came into my yard just before dark back in September. He followed 30 minutes behind 8 does. Taken through my double paned kitchen window. I would not have gotten the shot on film. Canon 30D, 75-300 IS, 300mm, 1/50s @f5.6, 3200 ISO. It was about the limits of the equipment.
