Taking Good Fish Photos
It is important to make sure the photos you take of the fish you catch are interesting, above all else. Here are some pointers to make sure your photos turn out as striking to the eye as possible.
• Use trees, weeds, or rocks in the foreground and midground to lead
the viewer’s eye to the fish in the picture, and always try to put it against something to show size relations.
• Use wide-angle lens for close quarters shots in order to take in
more information.
• Photograph any people in motion – have them stretching way out to net the fish, etc. Pictures won’t show motion but you can indicate movement.
• Photograph the fish jumping by bringing it in. Let it rest for a while
by holding it still and not letting it fight. Get your camera ready, and let
it put on a show.
• For still pictures, put the fish on a plain background and have fishing
gear nearby to indicate size.
