Title: Help me out with a future project - looking for nice pictures
Post by: djkimmel on January 17, 2008, 10:37:26 PM
One of my future projects is in need of some quality deer photos. If you want to help out and don't mind your picture being used on the Internet, I would appreciate a digital copy and permission to use.

I'm looking for natural stuff. In the woods/outdoors. No back of the pickup, garage, barn, parking lot, driveway stuff. Live deer would be nice, but a nice picture of you deer with your deer shot on location will work great too.

The clearer, sharper and better light, the easier it will be to work with and more likely I can use it. I haven't hunted in many, many years so I have nothing of my own although I will probably do some more outdoor photography over the next year for new projects.

Thanks for you help and participation. Keep on enjoying our great outdoors!!!

I have around 800+ from my trail camera over the last 3 years.  Take a look at these and let me know if this is what your looking for. They are large files but I can re-size them to whatever you prefer.

Nice pictures. These are definitely the type I'm looking for for some live variety. I like the color and look of the top buck in particular. The 3rd pic/buck is a nice looking picture too.

I want hunters with trophies too of course, as long as they are outside in the woods/field.

Do you know how to FTP? What I might do is setup a directory for this project that pre-approved people who know how can FTP into. No super big hurry on this. When possible, I'd like to get the original to have a lot of options. I can use them the way you've attached them here for some things.

Otherwise, we can look at other options for transferring pics. Thanks for picking out some nice ones.

Dan, I dont know how to FTP at the moment, but if I buy some beer and invite my brother over (he's alot more computer savy then me) he will help me out.  Let me know how many you want or if the FTP can handle it I can just send them all your way. Do you only want Deer?  I have pictures of Turkeys as well.

What is the average size of each picture?

I may want some turkey pics too... haven't fully decided yet.

I'll let you know more details after I have an idea about the size of files and maybe depending on how well you get the brother in on the deal ;D. Like I said, no super hurry.

Do you have any of yourself with the big one out in the woods after a successful hunt?

Dan I've got a few you probably want.  They are somewhat like Brian's. 
I also a a couple of Turkey pics taken out of the windows of the house. 
I don't know how to send them to you anyway but by email attachments. 
Heck I don't even know how to post a picture here except in my avatar.
I'll send you a couple via email.

When I open them in Photoshop they are 28 inches wide by 21 inches tall at 72 pixels /inch.  There about 2.7-3.0 MB files


Unfortunately I only saw those big guys on camera and not while I was in the woods. Hopefully they made it through the season, so I can get another chance at them next year! I did managed a Doe in the UP during Muzzleloader Season.

Email is fine for two or three pics. I would like to look at the turkey pics too when you get a chance. No hurry.

Well, there's a lot more to hunting and fishing than just the catch. I will probably use some doe pics too, but we'll talk about the FTP or whatever seems best for getting copies of those large files shortly. I won't be starting this project any time real soon. Thanks again.
