Hunting with a Camera Part II

Back in July we did a posting on wildlife/hunting photographer Wm. Lyman Underwood. He referred to his "shooting" of animals as "hunting with the camera." During the same time, George Shiras III, an ardent conservationist, was hunting with his camera as well (as he titled one of his images) using flash photography at night. He later became congressman of Pennsylvania from 1903-1905.
