Threshershark 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2009 Hey Thresher, if you don't mind sharing, how'd you take those shots of the brookies in the water? EXIF info? The hard part of photographing the free-swimmers is picking a location. If you can find an overhang or similar location where the fish don't mind your presence, and at an angle without too much glare, you're in business. With a hooked fish, it's all about learning your camera's controls 1-handed. I can change my settings while looking through the viewfinder with one hand, in order to compose the image I want prior to releasing the fish. For these shots I was at very close range. I used my "secret weapon" on them: The Nikon 35mm f/2. Depending on lighting conditions, I shot anywhere from f/4 to f/11, with shutter speeds of at least 1/250.

Vito1 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Love the second photo! That combination of reel, backing and line has to be one of coolest I've ever seen. What line comes in that blue color? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Vito! That Spoke is eye catching, I've been beset with e-mails and messages from people asking who makes that reel. The line is a Scientific Anglers Uniform Sink, Type II. Really nice line for fishing subsurface emergers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vito1 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 The blue, orange, and red of the reel/line looks great with the matching colors in the brookie, IMO. Good stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
