A Fishing Portrait

Took these after a fishing trip with a good fishing buddy and his friend that came along with us. I used a D700/Sigma 24 in P mode at -2 and used two off camera flashes in ttl set at +2. With the setting sun and not much time to set things up I trusted the camera for exposure and snapped away.

    Love #4, the B&W. The first thought I had when viewing the first image was an animation where the fish would be talking.

    I really like #2 cause it reminds me of "Big Mouth Billy Bass" that's animated and sings "Take me to the Water" that I had given to my dad when he first got into fishing. rolleyes1.gif

    BTW...Nice job on lighting these!

    thumb.gif#s 2, 3 and the B&W version of 4 for me. Really nice work and pretty close to editorial.

    Thanks. I want to start doing portraits where people are in their elements whether it's a hobby, work, or just fun.
