I have a lot of favorites, but this one always comes to mind as possibly the best "job" of making an image that I've ever done. Saw this little brook waterfall at about 50 mph on the roadside along the Columbia River gorge road in Oregon. It caught my eye so I found a safe spot to pull off about 1/2 mile down the road. I took my tripod and lightweight G10 camera and hiked back to the waterfall, dodging the occasional car on that very narrow road. Then I had to hike down a bit and figure out how to position my tripod legs on the ground and two large rocks. Using the ND filter and ND feature on that body, I got the shutter speed slow enough to make the falls silky. Then the magic happened. A beam of sunlight broke through for just a minute before the sun went behind the horizon and I snapped a few images. Looking back at my photos that evening, I couldn't believe my good luck. But it all began with "seeing" this image while driving 50 mph on a windy tight road. I was actually on my way to shoot another waterfall, and was taking a big gamble by stopping because I didn't have daylight left to do both.

Hard to pick just one photo but this one from my solo archery deer hunt is a favorite.

A couple of my (many) favorites just hunting. Had to reach back into the archives a bit but...

Bear hunting with my daughter ( some of you may have seen her in the "She got it done" sheep thread)

And whitetail hunting with my wife (2012)

My lucky kooozie… dang ex girl friend took it.



This canal was hand dug by slaves in a tidal area where the fluffy mud can swallow a man whole. It’s over a mile long, straight as can be and 15 -20 feet deep.

I took this pic last night of the eclipse with my iPhone 12 and my STX 95mm

Grey lodge wildlife area in California.

I've hunted there for over 30 years. I actually killed my first duck out of parking lot 6.... took this one there last year on the JR weekend.

OK boys and girls, let's see the single best pic (i.e., your favorite) you've ever taken (preferably hunting/fishing/outdoors related). Here's mine. It's a pic of us after our first ever elk hunt. My buddy Slevy on the left and me on the right-- we both shot smallish 6 point bulls on Day 1. Six days later my brother shot a goofy horned 7x3. Still my favorite hunting trip of all time. This pic makes me smile every time I see it... Let's see the one pic that always brings a smile to your face.

This is a great thread. Thanks for starting this Scoot. Also, very cool photo.

Miss Ginger. Backpacked into a high mountain lake and she was kicking back on the shore. The background is the lake.

My buddy took this one. I feel like it captures the essence of spring bear hunting for me.
