Under the Eye of the Hunter
Sep 19, 2016 10:41:45 #
Perhaps not my usual quality but a photo I like non-the-less. In mythology Orion is the Hunter and there is a constellation named for him that shows in the southern sky. On a recent trip to Arkansas I canupon these elk on a ridge just past sunset. I noticed the the constellation Orion could be seen just above these elk (well you can clearly see his sword and belt--the three bright stars in a row with three more forming his belt below the others). Since it was not quite dark I was able to pull this shot by using a ISO of 800 and a shutter of 1 second at f2.8. Not a compelling shot, but something I enjoy.
Thanks for looking ( I hope Sirius Likes This)

Well I like it - a lot! The elk, the colors, the sillouette, all works for me.

A great photo and at just the right time of the year. You have put it down perfectly in my opinion. Hopefully come this November I will see one of their brethren to have meat for the winter for my family and other families as well.

Thank you Flyerace. I generally hate to explain a photo as I believe it should stand on its own merit. But this one needed to be explained if you don't know the constellation.
Thanks for looking.

Sometimes the content means more than the quality, but here you achieved both. Love the "hunter" pointing out his prey....well done Larry!!

I absolutely love this. The silhouette is stunning. I love the touch of pink in the sky and I think it is amazing that your were able to get Orion so distinct. You have several very appealing element in one well orchestrated shot.
