Art, or a Saltwater Fishing Reel - will be awarded for
each category in a drawing of all winning entries at
the end of the contest period. Winning photos will be
judged and selected by BoatUS Staff.

Each winner will have their photo and name published
in BoatUS ANGLER Magazine on "The Braggin'
Board", and on BoatUSAngler.com
For
best color reproduction be sure your film or disposable
camera is fresh; develop exposed film promptly.
Choose
the Right Film - the higher the number of ISO (film)
speed, the less light it takes to create a picture.
With 400 ISO film you can take a picture on a heavy
overcast day or indoors without a flash. But that photo
will not look bright. The higher the ISO number, the
less light you need, but the more grainy the photo will
appear.
Choose
the right composition - Be aware of background clutter
that might detract from your subject.
Fill
the frame with your subject; be careful not to cut off
anybody's head or the fish's tail.
If
you are not removing the fish from the water, cradle
it's upper body in one hand, keeping your fingers out
of the gills, with your other hand grip the tail and
then position the fish at an angle.
If
removing the fish from the water for photographs, have
things ready before removing it. Take a few quick shots
and return the fish to the water - never keep a fish
out of water longer than you can hold your own breath.
Now
get out there and start shooting (and fishing)!
