Artist's Comments

we had dozens of these little chubs hanging around the campsite, we caught them with bread, graham crackers, lures, bare hooks, birch bark, and once with a camera.

How it happened: I stopped the aperture down a few stops for a little more depth of field, set the shutter speed high enough to freeze the movement, and ISO high to compensate for the first two settings. Then I focused on a spot on the water, and told Mike to throw a piece of graham cracker at that spot. Graham cracker hits, camera clicks away a few times a second, and there's the fish.

Edit Jan 19, recropped to show a little more of the two fish in the bottom corner

Oh, have you read As A Man Thinketh?
:iconneil-thompson:
haha thankya, and nope, haven't read it. just read The Legend of Colton H. Bryant, absolutely fucking amazing, you must read it. I don't know if it's published or not, I got the unedited proofs from my sister (works in the book shop now), but you need to find it.

Cowboy up, cupcake. Mind over matter, I don't mind, so it don't matter.

Cupcake...interesting.

If you say I must read this book then I mostly like will
:D
:iconneil-thompson:
oh, just my camera?

hehehe yeah it's great, but can you carry it around in your pants or use it as a hammer? I just got a waterproof (and bulletproof, rock proof, basically me proof) case for it... it's a beast... my kind of beast though, I love the thing :D
:iconneil-thompson:
my sister said the main character reminded her very strongly of me, which is pretty damn high praise once you get to reading about the guy

and yes, cupcake. cowboy up.
:iconzenspy:
haha i'm sure you could use as a really really expensive, slightly breakable hammer
:)

one thing i've wanted for a really long time is a waterproof case for mine, i mean it has underwater setting and everything but i've never had the opportunity to use them! :(

under...water? there are some pretty good things that do that, and great pictures that come from it, but we're in Maine... visibility underwater is about from your face to your hand, you couldn't get those great shots you see from the Caribbean or Hawaii etc. not worth the money unless you're going back to the islands for college.
:iconzenspy:
ya never know...

about college...

I've heard nothing but curses about Maine's water clarity from divers, and every time I've opened my eyes under water it's the same.

there's always fishtanks, though...
