Here are a few more images. Also, I learned how to do Polarization in Photoshop, so the original images on page one have been reloaded with a post-circ-pol.
Artsy portrait shot on the flats.
Fishing in the open water on day two. These are shots of Brett and Charlie having at it with the spin reels.
Neal, That just makes me want to get back to Keys more than ever. That’s a huge poony for first fish – sheeeeet!!!
I really like your use of the horizon – no “horizon head” and its never through the middle of the shot, its a hard thing to avoid in the heat of the moment, bend your knees or go up high. Well done mate.
Jumping fish are really tough to catch, you need anticipation and a very fast drive. Its the main reason I’m holding out for the new Canon 1D mk4. Unfortunately anticipation comes from experience – seeing the angle of the line change lets you know the fish is going to jump and when they’re like that its pretty difficult to not stand there like an idiot with your jaw dropped to the deck and the camera not even lifted up. I had a chance at a blue marlin on the teaser earlier this year, unbelievably spectacular blue around 500lbs that utterly demolished everything we had in the water – I took two shots of nothing because I was so overawed by the moment. I think just about the only things that gets you past it would be time in a war zone, a lifetime of high speed sports photography, or just a vast amount of experience that has you being a little nonchalant at the moment. Lots of opportunities helps.
For jump shots on big fast fish 10fps is good but a shutter speed preset at a minimum of 800 and better at 1200 is ideal.
Well caught though!!

That is an awesome Tarpon, no doubt. But I prefer this one:
It is obvious that the weight of that fish is causing the angler to almost buckle at the knees and fall in the drink.
Seriously though, Neal, your shots are outstanding. Great report! Cannot wait for round two.

Hi Neal, great set of shots – looks like fun !
Hope you don’t mind, but I thought I would share some secrets of Lightroom3 (I have a top secret advance copy!

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
I am sure I have looked worse…whatcha got? I would love an excuse to stop using Br and move to Lr.

Edit: This is what happens when one reads a post whilst on the piss…I actually took you seriously, DA. But I would still like to see the paper bag filter in use.
LMAO David. That is a great markup retouch of Bob and me. I CAN”T WAIT to see the LR3 brushes, especially the rumors on the new Philistine Correctus 😉
Bob, please show Brenda a copy of David’s picture. Unfortunately, everything in photography has a side effect – for my end, these brushes just gave me a big head, LOL.
All in good fun Dusty – I’m really just envious that most people have more hair than me.. 😀 ;D
Neal, the ‘Philistine Correctus’ brush is already worn out on my copy.. 🙁 ;D

I know David; I had just been influenced by some German hops when I first saw it and was really excited about new techniques you were developing. It was not until Mark S. pointed it out to me that I realized my own idiocy. I failed to notice that Neal had grown six inches since the last I saw him.

It is o.k. young one. When your pallet graduates we will get you into some grown-up brews. I had Natty light in my bottle as well.

Didn’t we get in trouble for this kind of rambling once before, and besides I was weaned on Black Label which I’m sure explains a lot of things.
