I'm surprised at the number fish and game photos that still use the old photography trick of holding a fish out at arm's length, or perching the hunter way back at the tail end (or even further back), in order to make the fish or horns/antlers etc. look bigger. All I can see are fingers as wide as the person's head (for fish photos), or a tiny head floating way off in the distance (for game photos). I've always thought a nice fish or a decent buck/bull/ram etc was a great trophy in their own rights and deserved to be shown in a more realistic context without resorting to tricks to make them appear larger. Except for greenhorns, most experienced fishermen or hunters can tell a good trophy from a great trophy just by looking at the critter. I always appreciate what I've caught or shot for what they are and try and take pictures that give a more accurate view of the animal. A 32" buffalo is a 32" buffalo and making its head look larger than a human does not change that fact. Appreciate and record the animal for what it is. BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | ||

What’s in your craw Buff? " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

I prefer taking photos of the animals themselves. Only reason I am in the photos is for my professional hunter. | |||

I have to agree, all that holding the trophy way out just cheapens the shot, especially with fish. But, to each his own. . | |||

I agree people can do what they want, but I think the forced perspective is a bit like a 50-year-old dude showing up to his high school reunion with a toupee and a new Corvette... but then again, have you been to an SCI show recently ...? | |||

That is obviously a nice buff - maybe 40 +, but in that picture the rifle looks to be 10 feet long. LOL Nothing stuck in mr craw, just an observation. Yes life is good. A new rifle on order .375 Ruger Guide Gun. Plus I just had a fantastic meal at Moonlight BBQ in Owensboro, KY. Love that burgoo! BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||
