I just got a new camera for my graduation gift and I wanted to see some of the pics that you guys take on the trapline or any pics that you have taken that have to do with outdoors and wildlife.

Once you have a housing for it. Things get expensive so don't go that route like I did.

Heres some pictures I've taken of critters and outdoor stuff.
I shoot on a Canon Rebel T3i, with 18-55 IS II, and a 55-250 IS II.
I'm wanting to switch to Mirror-less here soon.

Here’s some of my favorites. Shot with a canon t6i and either a sigma 105 or a 50 mm

Those are some great shots sportsman.

Google “rule of thirds” to learn what pro’s do.
My 6x7 and 35mm and 6x4.5 photos from my magazine shooting days are not on this fone or even on my laptop.
One of the best instructors I had taught us to think about capturing the light as opposed to subjects.
This process encompasses shadows as well as reflections to help you expose properly.

Bunch of good info on YouTube that can really help shorten the learning curve, look up Backcountry Gallery. Steve has a bunch of good videos and also a couple real good ebooks.
Here’s some of my coyote pics.

Nice coyote pics Tray.

I am no photographer by any means but here are a few examples of outdoor shots I took that were fun to capture:

Great pics everyone please keep them coming with any tips you may have for someone just starting out I took a few pics of the stars that turned out alright but I can't get them to go through so maybe I'll be able to later

My advice would be to take as many pictures of as many things as possible and only shoot in manual mode. Take multiple pictures of the same subject and change your iso, shutter speed, and aperture so you can see how changing each one affects the picture. Once you understand it, you can take pictures based on what your trying to accomplish with each.

and another with lil different composition

yep, a smaller aperture (f16 or 22) gives more depth of field, which we want sometimes, but it takes a longer exposure (like 1/30 or 1/15 of a second)

a larger aperture (f4 or 2.8) has less depth of field (area in focus) which we may want at times as well and takes short exposure (time..like 1/250 of a second)

A sturdy tripod, NOT CHEAP, is required for exposures slower than 1/60 or 1/125 of a second.

Learn to push the exposure button SLOW, so you don't wiggle the camera.

what camera did you get?
here is a great tripod for the money.......I still have 3 of them from my professional shooting days
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Manfrotto-Bogen-3021-professional-tripod-3-section-W-head/313180530292?hash=item48eb03a674:g:N6UAAOSwvbRfM3uD
It comes with a "ball head" which is very desirable and makes changing composition a breeze.
offer him $85 shipped

No fancy camera but I will only add, patience is your friend.

I took this and thought I got the shot of the day.




Stood there for a few minutes and this one unfolded.

Great shots Hobbie!

i see my link won't work......so just go to ebay and put Bogen 3021 in the Search box

Photography isn't about the camera, it's about the photographer!
