Dang Dennis....

And I still say you're an amazing photographer as well.

Thanks Royal, I grew up in a darkroom. My Uncle was a graphic arts cameraman and my Dad was a graphic arts lithographer.
Both worked afternoon shift, I would go hang out after school and did from the 1st grade thru high school. Changing to digital was miserable but I think I got it. Thanks'

Very welcome.

Your taxidermy is amazing work, but your photography makes it all just look simply stunning....

Thank you Royal. Nothing is ever photoshopped btw. The would be raw but I do sometimes brighten or darken them, then do the vignette. I shoot only with normal room lighting. In fact florescent light. I fool my camera with manual settings and make it see what is really there instead of it trying tell me what the exposures and lighting should be. When you have a camera you should shoot pictures everyday and make it do what you want it to, not what it gives you. Glad you like the pics !

Dennis, thanks for posting great detail pictures, as a professional taxi I have only mounted 3 waterbuck myself so I appreciate the reference photos!

nice work

Jeff they are a great animal to work on, Most Waterbuck skins tan well and most forms do need alterations but are simple and easy after you have mounted over 100. Thanks for the compliments.
