I suppose the phrase “Where’s Michael?” is uttered so often as to have no meaning, or has rather left your companions’ vocabulary entirely, as you lag behind for one admirable shot or another. Nice color on a gray day (and pretty crisp focus on the angler given the conditions).

He was a long way away, but I was using Brian’s 300mm, the same lens we used for the graduation photos. I captured the complete sequence from bent rod to reeling in, to release, but the fish was small and a disappointment to both of us. It’s nice to have a camera that won’t blink when asked to keep with up something other than still portraits.
In spite of the mist, we walked that beach for two hours, and as I look out the window this Sunday morning, I think I see some bright rays from the sun.

The color of the water was unexpected on a gray day. Near the shore it was the light green seen surrounding Michael’s fisherman, and then it faded into purple. Very nice effect.

That fish was small? Looks like about a foot long. If I caught a trout that big in a Rocky Mountain creek, I’d never throw it back!

I assumed when Michael said the fish was small that the sequence he caught was with another fish altogether, and that this was the posed shot after the fisherman made a quick trip to the supermarket … because I, too, thought that fish was a decent size.

All I know is it took five minutes to reel the fish in and about four seconds to unhook and let go.
