Tips vir beter pics
Dags? manne.
Hier is ietsie wat ek op n andersite geleen het. Kyk wat jul kan gebruik en toepas om daardie onvergeetlike oomblik te verewig!!
How to take great ?Big Game? trophy hunting pictures in the field.
As a full time professional Hunting Consultant, I receive pictures on a regular basis from hunters, clients, PH?s and Outfitters. In most cases, the better part of 50% of the pictures I receive are not usable for print or online websites.
I have listed below some HuntingPicture Taking tips to take with you into the field. Follow these simple steps and you?ll take pictures worthy of print, both for online and offline use.
? Never take a picture of your trophy big game animal with its tongue hanging out. It is always best to stuff it back in the mouth. You can also cut it off if it won?t go back in.
? Always clean up all blood on the animal and on the ground near the animal. If there is excess blood on the ground, just move your trophy big game animal to a clean spot. Sometimes all that is needed is just a few feet. Unnecessary blood in pictures shows hunting and hunters in a negative fashion. Remember, it?s not just hunters who see our photos.
? Always show your big game trophy animal in the best possible position. It is very important to be respectful to your trophy game animal and to the hunter.
? Never take pictures of your big game trophy animal in the back of a truck or 4WD. This is not respectful to your trophy animal and can add a negative connotation to hunting. Always pick a good national setting. Make use of rocks, fallen trees and any other natural flora. Look for shadows that may block out details of your trophy and move the animal till the shadows disappear. Antlers and horns look great against a blue sky. Take pictures from several angles so all tines and tips can be seen.
? Never take pictures of your big game trophy hanging from a tree, skinning shed or on a garage floor. This is not a natural setting and is not respectful to the animal. These types of photo scenes also reflect a negative association to hunting.
? Always cover all large exit or entry wounds with leaves, grass or brush. This can be done in a very tasteful manner with some practice. Look around the area and use your imagination in a tasteful manner.
? If the hunter or huntress is going to lay his/her rifle near or over the big game animal, make sure the bolt is open and the barrel is clearly pointing away from the hunter. Always check the camera viewer or display screen before you snap the picture. Even though a rifle muzzle may be pointed safety away, an optical illusion may make it appear just the opposite.
? When you choose an area to take your trophy big game photo, make sure all of the setting looks natural. Always try and avoid backgrounds with cars, 4-wheelers, blacktop roads, fences and signs. Choose your photo spot carefully and your background wisely.
? Keep a few clean small shop towels in your backpack to wipe off blood around the nose, mouth and entry or exit wound. You may need to wet your towel first. A small water filled ?mist sprayer? used on the horns or antlers to wet them makes that trophy rack really stand out.
These hunting picture photo tips will work whether you are taking a picture for a friend or you are having a hunting partner take pictures for you, always keep these tips in mind and you?ll have big game hunting photos you?ll be very proud of! Most importantly, show respect for your big game trophy and respect for the sport of hunting we all love.

Re: Tips vir beter pics
Ek glo ook nie as jy 'n hoed op het dat dit 'n manier is waarop jy nie respek betoon teenoor die dier nie. Ek neem aan dat daar 'n redelike debat gevoer kan word oor hierdie saak , net soos oor die onderwerp etiese jag.
Ek hou dus my hoed op en ek het respek vir die dier wat ek gejag het. Almal is geregtig op 'n opinie en dit is myne.

Stem saam Spek en Ben.
Topcat, niks teen jou mening nie, as jy hom afhaal, mooi so, jou manier van dinge doen.
Ek voel n ou het die heeldag onder daai hoed gesweet vir jou bok en sonder hom sou ons ou flou Afrika sonnetjie jou moertoe gebrand het. Daai hoed maak n belangrike deel uit van jou toerusting. Of moet n ou dan maar die geweer ook bere uit respek?

Stevan stem saam jou dit is nie die uiterlike nie maar die innerlike wat tel. Anders moes ons uit respek ook nie laataand om die kampvuur n ietsie vat nie vir n suksesvolle dag se jag nie. Jag hom eties kry daai bly lekker warm gevoel in jou hart dat jy bevooreg was om die dier se lewe kon neem en wees dankbaar. Dis immers n voorreg en nie n reg om te neem nie, en as dit nie vir ons was wat neem en die sport geniet en uitleef nie sou daar nie gewees het om te neem nie.
Net maar my mening

oppas, hiers manne wat jou gan foeter as jy die game van ons n "sport" noem...
Private Ryan,
ek kan nie meer saamstem met wat jy se nie. Daar is min dinge wat n jagfoto so afsit soos n ou wat "trots" op die dier staan of sy voet op hom sit so asof hy hom "gewen" het en nie gejag het nie.

Moet ook nie n luiperd oor die skouer afneem as jy dit nie met n pensskoot jakkals ook sou doen nie....

Re: Tips vir beter pics
Janjak, sorry, verstaan nou nie die oor die skouer afnemery so lekker nie..... Is dit nou wanneer die jagter ongeorganiseerd onttrek en die prooi (luiperd)hom georganiseerd agtervolg en die ou probeer die geleentheid op kamera verewig?

Nee oom, wat ek bedoel is die ouens wat met die luiperd trofee altyd so oor die skouer gedrappeer staan. Hy sal so staan met n pensskoot jakkals nie. Daai fotos wat oom van praat sukkel mens om in die hardloop af te neem.
