I got excited when I saw the title fishing! I can't wait for summer to gets here so I can go torture some little sunnies layball:ahahaha. I like your photo nice, I'm not very good at cc but I think its nice !! Animals always run from me when I try to shoot them, even my own so I never attempt this...and I almost got attacked by a deer once lol. Did he get his fish??

Hi Davor thanks for looking and your comments. I did mention this was taken on a weir, which is a low dam built across a stream to raise its level or divert its flow.

I do not know much about photography but yes awsome shoot ! Everything came out perfect. How long you were watching that bird ? haha

 

[Patrice]

Very nice indeed.

Exif says 300mm f2.8 1/800 sec. Exposure comp -1/3, auto exp.


Was this with a 300 prime?
How did know to do a -1/3 exposure comp?

Hi Patrice, yes this was with the 300mm f/2.8 IS prime. It was bright out so adjusted the exposure down by -1/3

Nice shot. Good positioning of the camera. Good location. Good exposure. Good timing. Good lens. Good lighting. What, that's only six things all done well....huh...seems pretty simple, no?

So good photography isn't that difficult to achieve after all. Just only six things to get right. Maybe seven, Derrel forgot about standing on one foot while holding your mouth just so.

But seriously, Derrel is correct, photography is not rocket science and is not very difficult to do correctly. Getting it done in a such a way to show imagination, unique viewpoint, interesting interpretation and passion is a whole different kettle of fish though.
