IF YOU WANT TO WIN STAR CITY WHITETAILS BIG BUCK BEST PHOTO CONTEST AND HAVE GREAT MEMORIES FOR A LIFETIME YOU NEED TO READ THIS ARTICLE ....
With all the technological advancements over the years, still our fondest memories of our times in the outdoors are captured with pictures!
So why in the world would we ever be left with less than desireable pictures of those special moments? Blurry buck pic, Trashy turkey pic, Bad bear pic, Fishy fish pic...WHY??
I will tell ya why...excitement and complacency. We get so excited to share our story and harvest with others that we some times hurriedly snap a few pictures with our cell phone and head out to show off our harvest. Think about the countless hours that went into taking this animal, make sure that some time is spent capturing some quality photo's. After all, these pictures are the very things that will stand the test of time and when years have past us by, it's these pictures that will still hold the same emotional value that came with the day you harvested your trophy.
Here are some simple tips to follow to make sure you have quality lasting photo's
* Clean the animal- make sure the animal's face is free of blood,dirt etc.. and make sure it's tongue is put back in it's mouth.
* For a truly professional looking phot postion the animal in the "bedded" postion with its legs folded back under it(as pictured)
* The hunter should hold the antlers away from their body either skylighting them or having a contrasting background behind the antlers to make them pop!
* Take more than enough pic's (better to have too many than not enough) always check for blurriness. I still get folks that submit blurred pictures...take more than you need to avoid those.
* Avoid the ole truck bed pic if all possible.
* Find a good spot that captures the habitat of where you hunt to take the pics.
* The camera person should be at the same level of the animal and hunter or slightly below the subjects. Never shoot from above the subjects.
* Take shots at different angles and have the hunter turn the buck's head to pick up different angles of the buck's rack.
* Pictures are best taken when the sun is low (early morning, or late afternoon) but since this cannot always be controlled make sure that the sun is never directly behind or directly in the face of the hunter when taking pics, have the sun slightly offset the subjects.
* Night pics should be taken with a flash with the deer also in a "bedded" postion.
** A good digital camera works well, or you can go with the handy cell phone if it's capable of producing quality photo's(most do these days).
~ Let's face it, we live in a society where the non hunter's out number our hunting community. As hunter's we all understand that there is bloodshed that comes with any harvest, but a picture of a bloody harvested animal only serves as fodder for the non hunting activists and also serves as a disrespectful representation of the animal we have taken~
***BOTTOM LINE***
Take at least 15 pictures of your harvest and quickly check them for bluriness before processing your animal.
Star City Whitetails has received and posted many great photo's over the last 4 years of our existence. I hope that the above information will serve as a friendly reminder of how very important quality photo's are and the great memories they will bring you forever...Only if they are right!
** All pictures shown below are examples of quality photo's we have received**
