Beginner's Guide To Taking Fantastic Looking Fish Photos

Monday, December 26, 2011

In the past, individuals caught fish out of need. A person would have to hook a fish or he wouldn't have anything to eat that day. Nowadays, the majority of people
catch fish for the sheer satisfaction of hooking fish. In reality, most anglers don't even keep the fish they catch. These sport fishers will simply catch and release, only taking home the fond memories of fishing.

Others catch trophy fish and get them stuffed. This can be achieved by killing the fish or by snapping a picture and a measurement of the fish to make sure that a professional can re-create it. In this article, I'll discuss how to take photos of your fish so that you can put your angling memories right on your wall where everyone can see them.

The first thing you ought to recognize is that you really don't have to have an expensive digital camera. Digital camera technologies have gotten so well that it just doesn't cost that much to have a digital camera that takes fantastic pictures. Zoom won't be important, however, you will want to get a digital camera that won't become hazy when you take photos from close up.

Now that you have the digital camera, you'll be able to go ahead and toss your fishing line in. Once you have your fish, you will want to raise it out of the water, ideally with your thumb in its lower lip. Just remember that this won't be applicable to every fish. While this will work good when bass fishing, it's going to cause you to lose a finger with some other types of fish.

Hold the fish out in front of you and have a friend take photos of each side of the fish as well as the top as well as the bottom. After that, you will want to have him measure both the length and the width of the fish. Additionally, be sure to take close up photos of any details you believe are worth focusing on. This should help the taxidermist create the model you are interested in.

Make sure you accomplish this as fast as possible so you do not injure the fish. The more time the fish isn't in the water, the more likely it is that it will not survive your encounter.

After you're done, simply take the images to your favorite store and let them take over from there. If you're fortunate, you'll have the opportunity to catch the same big fish a year or two from now when it's even bigger.
