First attempt at night shots, almost 8:00 AK time. The fog was starting to roll in as I was headed up the hill, kinda panicked that I was missing my window. Bout threw up, I was pushing hard to get to the picnic bench. I'm amazed at what my little Sony RX100 will do. I have so much to learn.....



Another one, it didn't turn out quite how I wanted. The moon looks weird and the fog coming up the valley made the rest of the picture look hazy. I like the colors from Christmas lights on the houses though.

Great shot and yes, this thread is one of my favorite things to check every time I'm on.

X2, I think I need to break down and invest some $$ in the DSLR rabbit hole.

Be very careful as it can consume you. But it's not all that bad. Although, I do find myself wanting to pack along at least three lenses whenever I'm in the field.

If I can learn how to fully use the compact I have, I would love to expand to a DSLR. I'm quite worried about the cost though. I know how I get, oh but if I just had that one more thing I'd be set, five items later.....

You pretty much nailed it. Although, I've kinda settled in on what I like to use. There's always better lenses or newer bodies but this is the kit that I use more often than not. All in, under $4K. Probably closer to $3.5K or even less. With everything here (and a tripod) I can do everything from fast moving wildlife to (up to) 5 minute exposures for nightscapes/astrophotography.

Compact cameras can be nice though as the best camera is the one you will carry with you. Just remember to always shoot in RAW or at least RAW+ so you can massage any photos that you really like.

I'm trying to get by with just my RX100 III, a PVC adapter to my spotter and a gorilla pod (if not carrying my spotter). I can get something that's acceptable for me with a much lighter/cheaper setup.

Absolutely! It's the same with any and all of the gear we love to covet and talk about. You just have to find what works for you. As long as you are happy with the results and performance of the gear and you are within your budget then that's all that matters.

Thats another great shot above!

Do you pack you kit when hunting? If not, what do you bring?

Yeah, I'm a sucker for punishment but I'll take what I think I'll use. Here's my daily loadout from a bear hunt back in October in Colorado. I didn't take the wide angle lens but I took the zoom and telephoto along with the teleconverter. What's nice is, depending on the hunt, this setup can be used as it's own spotting scope too.

Here is an example from last summer in Alaska. I was just sitting in a camp and a guy said he saw goats in the mountains behind us the night before. So, I set up the camera (I didn't have the 1.4x teleconverter at the time) and I was able to spot them way the hell up there. Granted, a 65x Swaro 85mm beast would be much better but it works when I don't need a spotter.

Goats were on the little \ in the snow on the second peak from the left.

I have loads of learning left and I'm trying hard to drop my training wheels (point and shoot on auto). It'll be awhile before I step into DSLR. I don't want to be that guy with $4k of camera gear and $40 worth of knowledge.

I LOVE this thread. Over Christmas, I upgraded my cell phone. I hope I don't regret it later, but I moved up to the Iphone 7plus because of the improvements in the camera. I will be getting a new phoneskope adapter to go with it, so hopefully it will take some better photos than my 4S did. I also may start trying to bring my go pro, and use the sportsmans mount to get some decent hunter perspective shots, and dabble with some basic video too. We shall see....but the photos yall post in this section are amazing!

I just hope the size of it doesn't become a problem....we shall see.

I have been tossing this very question around.

I am new to back country hunting and questioning what to drag along on a day hunt. Camera body is pretty easy to bring along, along with a lightweight tripod. What lens is another story. 50mm, 17-55 Nikor, 18-200 Sigma, 70-200 Nikon.......I cannot bring them all......but too many choices!!
