The call of the wild (part 1)

[C. Brian Kerr]

I had a pretty good day shooting. Learn some more. My favorite of the day is # 4. It's not Kris good but I think I'm starting to really grow. Thanks for looking and as always, C&C is always welcome and appreciated.

I usually go for the in flight shots but in this set the last one is my favorite.

My fave is 4 but my wife doesn't want a dead fish on the wall so I'm having 6 printed

Wow! Number 4 is truly impressive. I agree as far as printing goes, I like number 6 better but...what a catch on 4. I couldn't help but think "wonder what that fish is thinking?" What lens did you use to make these captures?

Hi C. Brian. Definitely nice job. The first part of course is catching them in focus and in hopefully good light. Practice practice shoot shoot.

Watch out for the way you crop your pictures. Most often when the subject is looking camera right, you want to leave room on that side of your composition.
Here is a nice website that I find very helpful (the entire site, not just composition).

When I can I definitely crop so they have somewhere to go to in the image. On some of these it was impossible

Number 5 stands out to me! I love the colors, the vignetting effect, composition is perfect. Indeed, a wonderful shot!

Thanks Jazzie. I think I might have cropped a little tight
