These shots give an idea of the excitement of the chase, and show what hunting and fishing are all about. The best of these pictures might show a fisherman in the front of the boat and a bass jumping as his rod bows over. A pile of decoys, a few ducks or geese and a Labrador retriever and a hunter also make a nice combination for the end of a hunting day. Use your imagination - the scenes that can bring viewers into your world are endless. Even with a close-up shot, a bit of creativity can make for a much more interesting photograph.
Anglers releasing fish at water level are exciting.
A shot of the fish as he's coming out of the water, spray flying, with the lure prominently displayed in his mouth, can give a priceless feeling of action and excitement. Another way to add interest to your photos is to take it from an unusual angle. That's going to be a ho-hum picture at best, unless you work with it. Get low, get high. Taken from a squatting or prone position, the catch and catcher will both look heroic, larger than life.
