Olympus MJU850 waterproof camera winner
Rob says: "The winner is a beautifully framed and exposed picture with great tonality and the flash fill has worked well to provide detail of the fishermans face under the cap providing an impressive picture." Congratulations to Peter Langlands.
Suggestions for fishing photograpy from Rob Wright:
Try and position the subject so it is well lit by the sun. If that is not possible and the sun is coming in over the shoulder of the subject set the camera flashlight to “manual mode” and ensure it fires which will light up the subject. It’s important to make sure the sun is not striking the front of your lens as it will bounce around on the internal lens elements and degrade the image considerably. Flash will always help balance the contrast and fill in the shadows on the face when the sun is overhead.
Seascapes / beach shots are a different ballgame and lighting and composition would be main considerations. In low light situations the camera shutter speed will decrease and many times will lead to camera shake and blur. Although a lot of the newer digital cameras are equipped with image stabilization which reduces this problem, try and brace yourself/camera or place the camera on a tripod or firm surface. Be aware of the horizon and keep it level in the frame. Most digital cameras come with many different picture taking modes and they should be used to help improve the end result.
