Zach… how many orders did you fill this go round?….. just trying to get a feel for the odds of seeing one on the river in ’08
Zack,
I’d say The Itenerant Angler dude pretty big on the back and the Text over the pocket if there is one on the front.,…. no Burnt orange please… gig’em
This is on the same vein as David’s suggestion. 5 Min in Photoshop. With more time you could make the gradient of the separation much cleaner
I’ll Take a couple of Large Zach but it has to be something other that Burnt Orange… Univ. Texas is our biggest rival… I are an Aggie
Yup…. Was thumbing through my FFM today and saw a picture of a guy squated down beside a stream in a red fleece and cap and thought well by golly that looks like Zach Mathews… took a look at the by line and I was right.
I have the Canon 20D Digital SLR. I love it but would advise geting good glass regardles of the brand.
All of these have been “Tweeked” in photoshop. First ‘Auto Contrast’ then a bit of saturation and hue adjustment. I like the deeper and warmer tones and highlights that the Moose brings. I supose that it is all subjective. I also use this same filter on my film set up when shooting slides.
The guys I was with, were talking about a grand slam for the area being a Pure Strain Cutthroat which we caught in the upper reaches of the Castillo River where they are cut off from the hybrid population by a natural falls, a cutbow which we caught in the lower reaches of the drainage, a Brown and a rainbow. All of the Rainbows we caught were hatchery fish by my estimation due to their muted coloration. I have no idea if that qualifies as a grand slam but we caught all four strains in a single drainage. The Cutthoat were amazing. Such a vivid slash and wide dark vertical banding down the length rather than the irridescence of the bows.
One of two I took as a brace for dinner mid week
This one is for you Zack.
We woke up one morning and the truck door was open on my Nissan Armada. I knew I had shut it the evening before and when I approached there was an empty bag of chips, an empty bag of dried fruit, and this empty container of animal crackers on the ground around the truck. Not a crumb left. Only a paw print on the door handle and second door and black hair and dirt in the drivers seat. Thank God the door did not shut behind the bear.

This is a crazy little shot of a hatch of craneflies I think.
