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)!
