POV
So, I told my buddies that we (I) needed to take our next big fish and do some comparison shots. I had totally spaced that out, until someone asked if I wanted a picture with my jackpot fish from the Islander trip. Same distance behind me of arms length and a normal hold in front of me (not extended out). Of course, again I only posted the small looking stuff, and actually had to crop the tape shot since it showed the entire fish. The posed shots were astounding on the difference in apparent size. There are lots of other tricks to making your fish look larger or smaller, like shot from down to up, sloped up and away, horizontal vs vertical pose etc. But it is pretty interesting what a small change in POV can make in the 1000 words a picture tells. |

I always know a fisherman is an exaggerator when I see multiple pictures of fish held with arms extended toward the camera So I always take shots with my elbows bent and the fish close to my chest. If you can't see their elbow, and this fish is in front, you've got em.

Is that the hand-launch dock at Kings Harbor?
Good research... and I for-one would never say you are exaggerating your catch. I think it would be like accusing Gandhi of eating BBQ Beef Ribs. |
