Fish on the Fly

[Stan Wright]

Nice catch Osamu. There is nothing like the feeling of hooking a fish on a fly you tied yourself.

What's better than catching a 2 pound fish ( and taking a picture so that the fish looks like it weighs 4 pounds ) ???? How about catching a 4 pound fish and having a photograph that makes it look like it weighed 8 pounds. LOL

The old "hold the fish close to the camera" trick, priceless though 2 lb. Tucs can keep me happy all day.

My professional photography secret is out.....

I paid attention in photo class when they told us: "What ever is closest to the camera looks the largest." "Size Relations" "Put something recognizable (ruler, coin, etc. ) in the photograph so the viewer can get an idea of the size of the subject."

( Or in the case of my fish pictures.... hide the anglers hand so the viewer CAN NOT get an idea of the real size of the subject." )

Yup, hide da knuckles... On my last Texas hunt the guide did a similar trick to make a 40 pound pig of young first time hunter Andy look 200 lbs. by having him stand several feet behind the pig, pretty funny stuff.

Let me hold the fish and they look twice as big! I'm only 5'2" and 105lbs
