Re: Finally on the board
cheers man,
haha yeah as i mentioned in my post both myself and decky love photography, so the aim is not to make the fish look as big as possible but make it STAND out. but that invariably makes the fish look a lot bigger as well (im never going to complain about that hahaha) we didnt have a DSLR at hand otherwise would have got some nice trick shots.
but the samsung galaxy will have to do for now.
for that shot the camera was literally in the fishes face, with an SLR and correct lense a shot like that would make myself invisible almost and only have the fish in focus. but you can't do that sort of jazz with a phone camera.

haha sure did mate. , decky gave up halfway through the fight saying its a stingray.cobby wrote:Few oh my gods and holy sh*ts thrown out when that one surfaced?
