Some really good stuff here guys. I had a relatively quite year but really like this pic of a South island brownie moving in on a willow grub. Its one of a sequence.

This is a tough decision….I would have to put this photo up, although i’m not even sure it is the best from the series.
Didn’t get to travel in ’10, and the saltwater fishing locally was pretty rough, but I managed to get some trout and landlocked salmon trips in, and came away with a few keepers.
This is probably my favorite – landlocked salmon fishing in northern Maine
This is not my best image of 2010 from a technical perspective since I didn’t quite nail the focus, however, it just might be my favorite photo from a fishing trip.
I couldn’t see anything through the viewfinder at all when I took this. In fact, I could barely see anything when not looking through the camera either. . . fortunately, a 30 second exposure allowed the camera to make out a few details.
This made me realize how few decent shots I took this year and even less fishing related. This one was on the way to a fishing spot though..
Great image Mike. Fishing images just haven’t been of interest to me that much lately. Fishing is a place where I can be in my own little world and I usually don’t like to be distracted.
As per usual with this board…amazing stuff. Mine are nothing very good technically, or aesthetically but both have meaning…at least to me.
This first one shows the all to familar tension, stress, anxiety and expectation that we all have experienced on the front end of a big trip. This photo instantly takes me back to that moment.
This second one is just one that I like from Joshua Tree in the spring.
Tidal Basin in D.C.
She was holding a sunfish she had just caught and these people in blue body paint were walking by. They all posed for a photo with the fish but it didn’t’ come out like this one.
Here is mine August Atlantic Salmon Québec North Shore look how the salmon il looking at the water hopping to be released and he was second’s after this shot
Something a bit offbeat – photomicrography image of a Beatis nymph gill and supporting internal structure:) …… was a bit of a personal image making breakthrough…..

Here’s Justin Crump doing some beach casting in Baja. I’ve always loved this photo. The colors are great and it just makes me want to go back down there every time I look at it!

John Sherman with a schoolie in the CA delta, nothing special but I just like the composition of this one with the fisherman out of focus in the background…
Went to Rocky Mountain National Park this past September and shot this Bull Moose on the East side of the Divide at Lilly Lake (pretty rare). It was after sunset and light was fading fast. This was hand held with a Canon 40D and EF f2.8 70-200 L plus 1.4 Extender, 1600 ISO, 1/250th ss. Felt very blessed to a) see this guy, and b) get this shot!
Also got some really cool bull elk pictures which are on my website. I’ll post some of them on a separate thread.
That is an out of the camera .jpg and thanks for looking.
Taken with my D3x using the Nikon 200 f/2 with TC 1.4E II in Aperture Priority @ 1/80 f3.3 340mm ISO 800 and -0.3 Exposure Control Setting, White Balance in Auto since the pond looked black and I wanted to keep that look. Noise reduction settings on High, Normal D-Lighting and Vignette Control settings Quick Adj and Saturation settings at +1, sharpening at 5 and Picture Control Setting at Vivid Adobe RGB Color Space, the original is exactly as you see it
