Yes....that's some serious "stink eye".
Comment by John Sikkila on July 19, 2009 at 7:45pm
Jim,I'm continually zooming in and out and the camera lets me know if I'm "zoomed to close" by beeping....my camera is set on "automatic" and the aperture is set "fast" for stopping any motion or splashing water....I have 4 different cameras and this "latest"and the one I've been taking these fish images with is a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ18 (8.1 megs)....others are fuji's and a Nikon...all digitals of course...also into macro/bird/wildlife/ photography....I never fish anymore without a camera along...nice to look at these photos on your computer when it's winter and 35 below...lol

Great picture, but that gill sure is giving you the stink eye.

Thats the tactic! I have been doing basically the same thing and if I get 1 of 20 that I like then I am happy! Do you use the telephoto option on your digital ( I use a Cannon Powershot 7.1 mgp) ?

Lol!....Jim,I let em fight first to "wear em out"....hold the rod "high" in my left hand while focusing and snapping images with the camera in my right hand.....not easy at times trust me...watch so you don't get water splashed from the fishes tail on the camera lens (happens all the time).......take a "bunch" of images(today I took 78) and you might get a half dozen that are "worthy" of doing anything with.....get better at it after a few years...

John...how do you get those gills to pose so nicely for you? All mine want to do is thrash around! Great job!
