Thanks for the shot Chris-

Damn, I do take some good pics huh, :lol: Chris' top 10 photography tips, read below... :lol:













My tips for good fishin pics,

1. Turn Camera to "on" position.

2. Make sure that you are zooming in close or with no zoom, position yourself close enough to get the Angler and the fish, almost so that it is the whole frame. No one cares about getting the whole kayak, or background. I was trying to get a tourist to take a pic on shore with just me and my fish, and this is what I get. This is my biggest YT 31lb 11oz, and it looks small!



3. Make sure the sun is in your subjects face, or the sun is behind you (the photographer).

4. Have the Angler throw a spit shine on the fish, ie dip it in the water, to rinse off, unless posting on bloodydecks

5. Make sure the fish is positioned right, so you can the side of its body. esp yellowtail, which shimmer in the sunlight like aluminum foil, where have I read that before?

6. Do some instructing, tell the angler what to do, "turn your fish this way, paddle here, so you are in the sun"

7. Tell them to smile for God's sake, these are catches of a lifetime, crack a joke, or make a fart noise, that makes people laugh. ops:

8.Take 4 or 5 pics, just in case a few come out blurry, swell, and cameras dont mix.

9. Use the highest megapixel setting you have, I have blown up several pics of me, and my friends, and they look cool in my game room. They can always photoshop to crop, or lower pixel res for online posts, or emails to friends, and family.

10. Have fun, experiment with Bendo, gaff, and action shots.

Well, I am no photographer, but these are some tips I have learned, by jacking up pics in the past. Hope this helps,

Chris :P
