    I take photos quite a bit but nothing that equates to product type photography for the most part. I have mainly done lots of travel type photos in a bunch of different countries when I go overseas or whatever. I haven't taken photos in a while now though.

    Photography is another hobby that will suck the last penny from your wallet. That said I only do it for fun. Same with shooting guns.

    Awesome photos.

    Im a sucky shooter, worse photographer, but I brag about my work in both hobbies.

    I favor antique rifles and antique camera gear.

    I suffer my choices in firearms and their old technology - I would turn down 3 AI's in multi calibers for one M40 in .308.

    Im willing to accept digital though in photography as film has become too much of a hassle.

    Currently seeking a Fuji X100V as it speaks to my soul regards "vintage" yet should still turn out good captures of what I see.

    Im finding that camera is currently harder to find than fairly priced match .308 ammo.

    Ive bought 800 rounds of great ammo in the last week but Im on week two of waiting for a camera to replace my dying Olympus.

    Beautiful landscape
    Where are you
    Central Calif, early spring, 100,000+ people just over the hill. You can see homes in the upper left corner. Dropped a pig downhill at 400 yards, the dumbass guide accompanying me, laid down next to the brake to watch through his binocs. I told him twice he should move and he said it wasn't necessary. Rolled the pig on the first shot, but he got up so I sent another. He yelled for me to stop shooting after the second shot. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Shot this on a trip to Alaska, this is between Haines Junction YT and Haines AK. One of the prettiest drives I've ever had the pleasure of riding/driving. Held the camera low at about 60mph.
