Hunting with Mike

This picture was taken on one of our Colorado vacations. I like to take pictures, and usually I have a very good camera to take them with. When out west the scenery will take your breath away, and by all means you want to try and capture, what you see, on film! It is though, next to impossible, to capture the depth of the beauty that your eye’s behold. Maybe Ansel Adams could do it, but I’m not capable of such talented photography. Anyway I took several photo’s, of this nature, with my four daughters (number 5 was left at home-to young) and my lovely wife Lorna. These pictures are priceless to me, and even now I can relive, that moment in time, when life wasn’t so complicated! I think sometimes, without photos and video’s, I’d forget half my life!! Take pictures, lots of pictures, you’ll never regret it.

There is one secret though I probably need to let you “novice” shutter bugs in on. When out roaming Gods wonderful handiwork, remember it can “rain” when you least expect it! I lost one movie camera and two fairly expensive 35mm still camera’s to foul weather, as I couldn’t keep them dry. Now when I’m in the wilds, I carry a waterproof case with me for such emergences.

One other thing, is always keep one or two extra sets of camera batteries with you. You never know when that photo of a lifetime is going to “run” across in front of you. Dead batteries could keep you from taking that “perfect” shot.
