Same Old Picture

[captpete]

Please resize your photos.

Too big, too small, just right? Elaborate on your request.....

A lot of them are so big you have to scroll both main page and the picture just to see the pic....at least they are on my computer and laptop. Some are so big you can almost count the pellet holes in the head.

As an example RutnNStrutn 's pictures are the perfect size at least on my computer....no scrolling needed.

Gotcha. I did resize but evidently, not enough. I'll try the other setting.

Your pictures themselves are a nice size. You just have 2 posted side by side which makes them look big.

love this forum but to attach a pic you need a masters degree. Im not that smart.

Personally, I like the pictures of somebody posed with a turkey that looks like a drowned rat that's been beat with a baseball bat.  ...Those are my favorites!   

LOL I know you are talking about some of my pics. When I was younger and dumber I would hunt in a hurricane if the
birds wanted to play.

I have no idea who you could be talking about.

I was able to pose with this bird by an old stone wall in the woods. I don't do the best job with it but I thought it was a cool spot. I actually thought "it would be cool to kill a turkey by this wall" and then I did!

A lot goes into a decent picture.  It is obvious that some of the members take time and effort to take a good photo memory, and some pull out the phone and snap a quick shot.  After the time, energy, and excitement of hunting the bird, I enjoy taking some time to at least try to take a nice photo memory of each bird killed.  Some people want to rush after the hunt, snap a shot and get out...  I take some pleasure in trying to set up a decent photo (but I still have a lot to learn as far as photography).

Tailfan shot is a classic, cause it shows off the bird well...

I do my best to get the head and feet of the subject, and center the picture from top to bottom, and side to side.  (Can't tell you how many times someone has taken a photo of me with game or a fish, and cut me off at the knees, or the top of my head is cut off, or the camera is tilted, etc...)

If I cannot be in the picture, I try and pose the bird, and press the feathers so the bird looks as nice as possible (just pretend you are taking a picture of the wife).

Killed this bird just before noon this season (which is a horrible time to take a picture).  Tried to pick an interesting backdrop, but not under a tree due to the issues of shadows...  Won't win any photo contests, but still a nice memory.



As the photographer, I want the sun at my back (or in the face of the subject), and I try to pick an interesting or at least aesthetically pleasing backdrop.  Try to center the subject in the frame of the picture.  Try not to have weird shadows (such as a shadow of the phone or photographer) in the shot, or shoot the picture a bit wider so these shadows can be cropped out.

Below is my daughter.  Got her in the sun with the classic bird over the shoulder shot.  Sun was bright, so on the tailfan shot, I put her in the shadows a bit, with the sun bouncing off the bird but you can still see her face well...  Not professional grade, but still worth a picture frame.

I love finding those old stone walls or house foundations from times before.

Reflexl,...you need to be taking some lessons from this guy!  ^  ...Now that's a classic turkey picture!
