    Let's see your wildlife photo's that you photographed yourself.

    This is a subtle spin off perhaps of the truly wonderful Photographing firearms and gear thread that has a wealth of knowledge for not just guns N gear pics but pic taking in general. I finally got a nice little Canon Powershot SD1300 IS Digital ELPH and even more important probably a high quality tripod with a ton of adjustments and such...not that the tripod really figures into the few Wildlife pics that I have captured so far, but for the guns N gear it's worth it's weight in gold.

    So moving on, I just figured I would share my first two wildlife pics I have taken just around my home so far with the new camera, and hopefully others have some they would like to share as well. Love to see em if you got em



    Hide the woman and children cause this dude is hideous...reminds me almost like those dogs known as the World's ugliest breed.

    WOW....thanks gents, those pics are beautiful. I love bird wildlife, and the Planet Earth episode featuring the Birds of Paradise was easily my favorite. Those swans are beautiful, however they will beat the shit out of you if you give them the chance....my best fishing pal was trying to be a good Samaritan by trying to remove somebody's discarded fishing line hung up around its neck and wing....long TRUE story short, we ended up in the ER with my pal having a broken arm. The amount of power generated by the swan's one untangled wing was unbelievable.

    Birds of prey.....more of them please My main wildlife pics goals or target images are 1.) a shot of the breeding pairs of Owls on my property, and 2.) a shot of one of my favorite animals the Red Fox.

    Distant 3.) A nice filled out and healthy Bobcat.

    The Planet Earth show gave me a whole new respect for wildlife photography and videography. They waited like 3 yrs. to finally get the image of the Snow Leopard IIrc...bear in mind the Snow Leopard lives in the same caves that OBL and his short bus crew live in the Hindu Kush Mtn. Range/Pakistan.

    After looking at the Mallard again, I would almost say that the picture looks better than the real thing. That is for sure professional quality.

    Spent many days in Winter Harbor. Neat place, as is most of the Maine coastline.
