Definitely a pure pumpkin with a pigment issue. See a lot of them up this way in uber-clear MN waters, pumpkins and BG's alike, as well as pike, walleyes, and perch.

- You've inspired me! Yea. Now I need to do some catching and see what kind of pics. I can come up with?
But you know, when the fishing is good, it's hard to slow down and take a bunch of photos. Just need to stop and savor the moment.
I also wanted to ask, If you have any issues with fish colors being muted by using a flash. This happens to me sometimes when photographing Crappie or white bass, because of their silvery color. If I photograph someone holding the fish, I use a flash on sunny days to remove the shadows. Especially if they are wearing a hat-for example.
I try to lessen the effects by staying further away from the fish and using the zoom more. I prefer to keep the detail in the fish, and brighten the image later, if possible?
Any suggestions, based on your experience?
Thanks again,
Greg

- Michael,
Thanks for the info. I really like the different angles, unique set-up's, and use of backgrounds in your shots!
I have a high-end Nikon point and shoot, with a computer chip that has a lot of different pre-sets for different situations. It has tremendous resolution, but more features than I need. Great photos like yours are all in the creativity of the photographer.
Keep the pics coming!
Best,
Greg

Lance A. Cashler said… - Mike, I made a mistake using another member's name when I meant to use yours. I was trying to tell John Sheehan about putting 2 spikes on a teardrop which I noticed that we share in common. Anyway, just letting you know. How's fishing been over there in MN??
