Tip of the Week

To make better photos of harvested game and fish, take an extra minute to place the animal or fish where it looks best. Clean away any visible blood and make sure a tongue is not exposed. Place the hunter or angler behind the subject and check to see that no distracting objects are in the photo, usually in the rear. A cluttered carport or campsite will ruin a photo. Look through the viewfinder and study the subject and the persons carefully for a moment. Straighten caps, brush back hair, move a hand and require a smile. Now your photo will bring smiles decades ahead and may be acceptable to be published in the media.
