Catching Up to Sports

[Loupey]

Hey, guys. I know this sounds childish but I see that we are catching up to those sports guys. The ratio in posts between the Sport and Wildlife people used to be more that 2:1. Keep it up

Not that there is anything "wrong" with sports. It's just that there is more nature than sports in the world

Probably helps that JSPhoto has been quiet as of late.

i don't know what you're talkin about. There are way more sports than nature in this world. What do you see when you look out your window? that's right, baseball.

You know Loupey some of us are sports and nature guys. I'd like to see both forum have loads of post everyday. I'm afraid I'm in a sports dead zone right now with our local schools out for the summer, but football is just around the corner

Let those who like shooting sports start shooting wildlife and vice versa. My theory is shoot what you love or that inspires you. I have shot a few sports images in the past, but I find wildlife to be more attractive to me.

I too would love to see both forums bogged down with posts!

Let me advise those who don't know, but there are over 30 million birders in the US and europe/asia has a huge amount too ;) Eco tourism is a very big industry these days!

I know that sports fans have to be in the 100's of millions atleast though

LOL, a friendly elbow-in-the-side to our sports shooters. Yeah, Livin and OT, I know, I've seen both your works and you both are hard workin' photogs.

But aren't they the ones with dem big guns? Love to see some wildlife shots through those.

Loupey.....I've pretty much given myself over to shooting baseball for the past 2 years, but since the end of last season have attempted to branch out in other areas. I'm still pretty weak, as you've seen in Critique, but my wife loves hearing me say "Let's go for a ride in the country" .

Well it happened. At 9:54pm EST, we caught up to sports!!! Now what kind of dork am I?!? (please don't actually answer that Paulnj)

Nothing competitive by it - having a little fun. Just happy to see so many people passionate about their photographic endeavours.

Thanks all for posting, sharing, teaching, and (hopefully) learning :thumbsup:

Speaking of dorks..... look at my # of posts :lol:

[paulnj]

YEAH Now we are talking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

It could be because baseball season ended though

How did I miss this thread? hehehehehe, I found it now though Hey, all you sports shooters hidin in the nature forum, get back to work on the sports side, just because I'm on a forced slowdown doesn't mean you can "slough off too!"
Maybe that will wake em up......:thumbsup:


Seriously though, even I slip up occasionally and post here in natureville.....

hahhahahah good to know we are out there.... even as summer winds down... err maybe fall winds down.....


in other news i went on a field trip today where we got to dak elk in PA and attach radio collars on them, i didn't get great photos but i'll post some tomorrow.

Well for me it leans out in Winter as motorsport winds down and they go back to the wind tunnel and factory to work on the cars - and testing moves to places like Dubai.

Still, there's plenty of nature out there if I don't freeze trying to get the shot !
