I guess I must have come after they gave him crap here. I haven’t read any threads on this site of that nature. To his accomplishment listed above, 12 lbs fish on 6x is truly impressive.

Mike those are some pigs. Nice job. Your kid is a stick already at 8!

[Aaron Otto]

Thanks John, I’m going to put my 1.7 tele in the mix.

[Aaron Otto]

Thanks guys for the input.

[Aaron Otto]

Thanks – I will let you know after the next couple days if I can use some extra shots.

Kevin,

I don’t know how you did it, but in the living room shot-where you changed up picture on the wall and in turn the reflection in the coffee table- well, that is really cool.

I like both lenses suggested above.

Great experience.

Randy that’s a good add to this thread;

What books do you recommend?

Z suggested a couple good ones  to me a few months back;

1. The Elements of Style by Strunk and White
2. Stephen King on Writing

I’ve read them both twice.  The first one is very hard for me.  I don’t find any of it sinking in. It’s packed full of fantastic information.  The kicker is, I feel like I should have grasped the content in 6th grade, but I’m too thick to hold onto any of it.  I’ve started my third review.

The second is a really quick read.  I never read King before Z suggested this book and now I’m a fan.  I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to write with half his wit or common sense , but I’m sure as heck going to try.

[Aaron Otto]

John I have to apologize I just went back and looked in Nymphs 1st edition it wasn’t there. So I looked through my library and found what I was thinking of. Selective Trout, Swisher & Richards – pages 4 through 12, 30th anniversary edition. Talks about building tanks as well as shooting conditions to catch in natural state.

[Aaron Otto]

The last one looks like a lobster that is great.

[Aaron Otto]

That gives me a thought on another good thread;

[Aaron Otto]

Seriously Lee – I just looked at your Picasa sight.

[Aaron Otto]

So Z keep me honest here you had so many good points, I’m just trying to capture them here.

M,

That is a sweet build.

[Aaron Otto]

This may be a really dumb question, but I don’t have a clue what is on the end of that lens?

[Aaron Otto]

;D

Is this Gandalf on the Togas I see???!!! 😮 😮 ;D ;D

Now that is funny.

[Aaron Otto]

Looks like a great trip.  My second look through your shots – the third one hit me.  Great perspective.  Long walk down a pier lonely for boats.  Love it.

I’ll take from Rich’s lead that you haven’t gone done the FFF path yet.
