Simple rules to followFor the ideal fishing picture there are several things to keep in
mind. First it is a recording of a catch you are proud of and you may
not get a chance to retake the picture. Commit a few extra moments to
make it a great fishing picture.
(1)White balance the camera
(2)Take the picture straight away for the color of the fish is at its best when alive.
(3)If there is blood on fish wipe it clean.
(4)Get plenty of light on the subject.
(5)Feature the fish first, then the angler. Hold the fish so your hands and arms don't block the view of the fish.
The best fishing photos feature the fish
(6)By adding
related items to the picture,it will add interest and perspective to your fishing picture (depth of field ) here are a few examples. If it is a fly
fishing photo, add the fly the fish was caught on and show the fly reel
and rod handle in the picture. Show saltwater or freshwater lures in the
fishing picture when possible. For deep sea pictures, include parts of
the boat in the background.
(7)Very important the angler to have a big smile, no sun glasses and remove your hat after all its about the emotions that the event has created with- in the angler, why hide it.
Stay safe all and happy snapping .cheers Ian
