The Unlucky One

Hey ya'll...
Was visitin' a VERY good friend of ours, and he was showing me some pictures that he took a few weeks ago in Yellowstone.
He scanned past these, and I thought they looked pretty artistic.

He's a great photographer, an "eagle-maniac", and videographer.

Coop, I LOVE that first one (The second isn't too bad either). Your friend does great work.

That third photo of the bull in the ice is pretty cool too. I saw it posted on the B&C page a while back. Tough way to go though!

Holy Crap, your friend is just 'slightly' a better photographer than me. :))

I hope I'm half that good some day. Great shots. I like the second one the best, but they are all SWEET!!

Those two photo's sure make a statement about how shutter speed can change a picture.

Brett,
You're VERY close!
Don,
I was going to comment about shutter speed...experiment A LOT with your photo-taking. You never know what you're gonna get, and it could be a "winner"!
I don't think Ted (the photographer) really wanted these pics, but I may have changed his mind because of how excited I when I saw them...
Just goes to show that YOU aren't always your own best judge of creativity and art.

From Perryrankin over on thunderbucks where I took some of our guys right here photo's with their permission:

"WOW, absolutely phenomenal pic's Don. Thank you for sharing some pic's of animals that a lotta us don't get a chance to see. Also, please tell your friends at muley madness how much we appreciate them allowing us to see their photo's. They must be some really great sportsmen!!!!"


There are also a bunch of guys over on 24hr campfire that are really good. It's hard to believe some of you guy's are really amatures.

those are great pics but i do have 1 Question: Whats going on in the first pics?? is it in a river/ or is it raining hard? it almost looks like they are just floating in a rainy pond :-k so any way how was this set up??

Killer,
The first pic: It was overcast and the shutter speed was slower. This causes motion blur. The skull is stuck in a river and you're seeing the water flow over the antlers.
The second pic. Higher shutter speed (high enough to stop the water from moving).
Does that answer your question? Or is it confusing?

Great photos! You might mention to him that when you click on the link for bears and coyotes, it goes to the bucks and bulls pics.

I heard a story about a big ole bull that swam across a river while his antlers were growing and tried to swim back and drowned cuz his antlers had grown too big. His antlers were some sort of record, I believe. Too bad animals like that have to go out like that!!
