<p>B and H Photo is a pretty good source for camera mounts. Try this site, and you'll find several at 30.00...</p>

<p>Doug,</p>
<p>I am planning to mount my camera like yours. I have a Bass Tacker with a small windshield and was looking for a clamp to hook to the windshield. Where did you find yours and how much should I expect to pay?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

Just remember- Nat Geo photogs always said if you got one keeper out of a roll of 36 exposures, you were doing good, so look at everything you shoot and be self critical about framing, exposure, level horizons, each element that contributes to what makes a good photograph a great photograph...learn from your mistakes, erase em and shoot again!

<p>I have a Nikon Coolpix 8700 digital camera. It has all kinds of computerized settings for taking different shots: Backlight, Close-up, Portrait, Party, even Fireworks, etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had to do a lot of experimenting to see which setting works best for each different situation. If the flash goes off when photographing a Crappie....it turns snow white! So I use a different setting.</p>

<p>It's not necessarily the features on the camera, but the creativity of the person taking them. Michael Thompson has some of the nicest shots posted, that I've seen. And he's using a (cheapie) digital pocket camera.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do agree with everyone else that you should take as many shots as you can, and hopefully when you get home, there is a hand full of great shots!</p>

<p>I always carry my pocket digital, even when fishing my local pond. When I'm in the boat, and I'm usually by myself, so I have it mounted on a clamp so I can snap "I ain't lyin" photo's with the timer...this works out well</p>

I have an SLR and love it, but for fish and fishing I just use a pocket digital camera, a cheapie in case it gets ruined. all my pics on here are taken with it, and they turn out pretty good

The D5000 is a very nice piece of equipment......keep it dry. The Olympus Tough is a great float tube option....waterproof, shockproof and shoots 720i vid.......just around $200

<p>WELL, You certainly cannot blame out of focus blurry shots on your equipment now! You didn't specify what the other lens is? Hopefully its a wide angle, because the 55-200 covers portraits and tele shots. If your 1st lens is not a wide angle, I would look to either trade, or purchase a wide angle lens, at least 24mm if not wider. Remembering that with digi SLR's you lose some of the lens (because the actual chip is not full size 35mm) even a 17mm is not an extreme wide lens. It does not have…</p>

Remembering that with digi SLR's you lose some of the lens (because the actual chip is not full size 35mm) even a 17mm is not an extreme wide lens. It does not have to be a stabilized lens, unless you shoot a lot in dark situations where your lens is wide open and your shutter speed is very slow.</p>
<p>Buy several mem cards and shoot your butt off. and don't be afraid to delete. Thats the fun of digi</p>
