00W's AIO Smorgasbord

thought you'd like it. Seriously though since I don't hunt. Is there a legal minimum size/age on deer for hunting?

Amanda already more or less answered this but, yes and no. It is state dependent and in some states varies from county to county.

Arizona has no age or size limit on the buck. If it has at least one antler fully protruding from the skin it is a legal buck. However, does are not legal except for a limited number of youth only tags in a specific region of the state (Game Management Unit). In Arizona though, we do things a little different. No crossbows during the archery season - that's just cheating. No game cameras allowed - too many people were taking advantage of the cellular service game cameras. No baiting/feeders are allowed for any managed game animal - wild hogs are the only non-managed game animal in Arizona currently.

For you photographers what would you use to make these guys pop! They are so much better in person

Adjust the white balance, warmth, tint, and blue tone is what I do.

White balance is before taking the picture, the rest are afterwards.

It's hard to adjust after the fact with so much blue in the photo.

The other thing you can do is turn off the blue lights and run only whites during the picture.

I have an Apple Smartishphone. It's my first cellular phone

I have a lens kit. R2R gave it out as part of their membership drive couple years ago.

Try it with the orange first, the try it stacking the orange and yellow (if it has both).

Ok so same setup I'm using. You'd be amazed at what's possible on an iPhone camera. These were both done on a base model iPhone 16 using the lens kit that you are using. Not to mention, these were edited using the base iPhone photo editing software; no AI was used. I agree with @tbrown.

What I would do is use the macro lens filter, then snap either the orange or yellow filter over it. This would allow me to get up-close photos without having to zoom in so far and lose photo quality. I would try to get shots from multiple perspectives, and eventually settle on one that I would like. Once I landed on a photo I liked, I would take it into editing and edit the photo. Usually to bring out the colors, brighten up certain areas, that sort of thing. I never wanted to "over-edit," which is very common for people to do (I've done this before, and most people who do photography will do this from time to time)

I used to use a legit camera (Nikon 5600), but I find my phone is able to take better photos up close, as I don't have the appropriate lens for it

Also, I'll provide a real-world example below. This is a pretty terrible photo I took while I was up in Blue Ridge a few weeks ago. This was a quick photo I snapped of a tank I saw in a storefront. I didn't set up for it or anything. Mostly, it was a grab-my-phone-out, shoot a quick photo, and leave.

Why am I bringing this photo up? To show a before-and-after with photo editing. So below is the before photo; the after is after I touched up the photo. Again, no AI was used, and I didn't use a lens kit either (I don't lug that thing around with me, haha)

For the record, I run VERY heavy blues and use 0 filters on my phone camera.

To give you an idea, the above picture was proof I cut the wires that I sent for a warranty replacement BUT see how blue it is? That's outside the tank running only a 5500 Kelvin adjustment to white balance before taking the picture.

Below: picture taken using 7500 Kelvin white balance adjustment, no filter, and minor warmth, tint, blue tone, and some contrast and saturation.

Good morning Tim! This is legal though because of what the sign says.

You can't bait me in with posts like that! But, since you questioned..... Wet rub

The ones with spots are more tender since they are still milk fed!!

Harvest. You don't catch a deer, you catch a fish. Hopefully she harvests dinner tonight. She's looking for a deer that's been growing in the garden for a decent bit - nice, mature, and ripe and ready to be picked.

Morning Tim <tips hat>
