Im starting a thread to post any interesting pictures you want to share. They can be hunting related or not, it doesnt matter.

To start off:

A few more turkeys

My Jack Russel with her prized game (a mouse) that she harvested in the basement!

My Boxer guarding my new Exocet: (I cant figure out how to rotate it)

Looking forward to more pics.

Good pictures RichardS. For a guy only 19 years old, you sure got it together. You'll be a good leader one day.

As for pictures, I'll send some on this post soon.

Here's a shot I took earlier this summer of my observatory when a small aurora was starting to take place.

I really enjoy taking aurora images. There was supposed to be a decent aurora tonight but it seems that auroral activity subsided just before dark.

This is one tough Pup. She took on a full grown Racoon in the back yard one night, and won. Not a scratch, but the coon has not returned. I walk softly around her now.

I posted this one before, but I'm still trying to get the hang of posting pictures large enough to see. This is Opie. He used to come visiting every evening and helped himself to the cat's food. I finally helped him to relocate, with a live trap to more secluded digs.

Excellent Photos TAC!

What type of camera were you using for those Photographs?
Nice Job

Thanks!

It's remarkably simple to take aurora images. Just mount a camera on a tripod, use a wide-angle lens (24, 28, etc), set it to f2.8 (or as low as the f-stop can go), use fast film (ISO 800 or 1000) and take a 20-30 second exposure.

I use a Canon 300D 6.3MP digital camera. The images of the aurora over my old house were about 18 second exposures at f3.5 and using ISO 800. The image of my observatory was the same but using ISO 1600.

Believe me, _anybody_ can take them with a bit of practice.
