Fishing Photography 101 : Fill The Frame
Have you ever wondered how photographers get all those great photos we see on the cover of our favorite fishing magazines? I certainly have. Over the years, I’ve become more and more fascinated with capturing perfect fish pictures. So much so, in fact, that I rarely fish without a camera around my neck. In the “Photo Tips” section of New Mexico Angling, I want to share a few of the tricks that I use when I’m on the water. |

Regardless of the type of camera you’re using, filling up the picture with the main item of interest will improve the quality of your pictures. How many times have you seen a picture like the one on the left? This isn’t necessarily a bad picture. Everything is in focus, and there is some interesting scenery behind the fisherman. But the real point of this picture is the fish. |

Starting out in photography, we have a tendency to place the eyes of a person in the center of the frame. This leaves a whole lot of un-interesting area on the sides and top of the picture. By filling the frame with the subject on your next New Mexico fishing trip, you can turn “ho-hum” into “nice fish!” New Members Offers – Get 25 Free 4×6 Prints when you join Shutterfly!
