Taking photos of fish

[thefishingphotograph]

Any advice based on these photos? Any tips on how I could take a shot of the fish in my hand, but in the water? I use Camera+ on the Iphone on these pitctures. I'm trying to practice taking articles for my articles in Bassin' Magazine. I''m using my Iphone 4s and am just trying to make the photos more, clear, crisp, and detailed.

If you are using the photos for an article in a magazine, you probably don't want to use filters or a camera app that edits photos for you. Do you have anyone who goes with you that can take the photos, and you worry about posing the fish? I would try using a regular point and shoot or bridge camera (if you go alone) or a dSLR if you have someone that goes with you.
The photos you posted are very over-saturated. I assume because of the app.

I doubt that Bassin' Magazine would take those.. as they are totally unrealistic. The post processing is terrible, very oversaturated!

-How much Brightness should my photo have?
- How much contrast should my photos have?
- How much saturation should my photos have?
- How much warmth should my photos have?
- How much tint should my photos have?
- What kind of filters should my photos have?
- Should I use Auto, Flash, or Backlit?

I'm using my phone 4s, so I can control everything. I'm trying to take the best photos possible! I'm using the Camera+ App, it seems to make photos more detailed.

Trust me.. with a cell phone camera, you have very little control over anything.....

You want the best photos you can get with a cell phone, or the best photos you can get???

I was told that the Iphone 4s is one of the best camera out there, I have the following apps:
-Pro HDR
- Camera+
- Camera!
- Slow..Free!

I'm 16 and just want to take better fish photos? I'm no troll?

It might be one of the better CELL PHONE cameras but it is far from being the best CAMERA. If that were the case then every Sports Illustrated or National Geographic photographer would be running around with an iPhone as opposed to $20k of DSLR and lens.

The detail on your photographs isn't bad but the colors are horrendous. Your hand (assuming it's yours), for example, is orange with pink nails. Cut way, way, way back on the color saturation and processing. Make them look natural not posterized. When processing photographs use the least amount of correction you can use, not the most.

How are these? Which one is best?

The first and the last look identical to me. They are still heavily oversaturated and there is a tree trunk in the background that is bordering on purple to. The one in the middle is somewhat overexposed in placed and not very well saturated. Somewhere in between but closer to the one in the middle would be best.

The one in the middle has nothing done to it, just a plain picture

Maybe you should stop using Camera + .... that may be where the 70's black light look is coming from!

You've insisted several times that the iPhone is great. You're either a troll... Or stubborn... Or not listening.

iPhone kinda sucks, but your app makes it worse.
