Framed BoatUS ANGLER "Catch of the Month"
Certificate - suitable for hanging
The
Grand Prize - a high-quality Freshwater
Fish Replica of your catch from Donnie Poore's Fish'N
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.
PLUS!
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)!
