    I find the led lighting really good, I started off with the ones by Rhino but ended up buying 2 of the viltrox L116T which are really good!
    Couple of adjustable stands postitioned around 45° either side of me and a little higher than where the fish will be held and they're spot on. I did use the sony HVL-F45RM for a long time but find the viltrox led lights way better and for much cheaper! Win win

    Hi @Neil,
    I use the sony a9iii with the 85mm GM lens. I always use manual mode as I like fill control over my exposure and shutter speed.
    Not ever actually used a flash for fishing as I use the static led lighting myself,
    I think I'm just compensating the highlights of the fish to get a well lit shot of the face. Its just finding the balance I guess. I generally try to get in the shade for even lighting but some venues are so barren.

    Hi all,

    Im not new to photography, however I do always seem to struggle when it comes to photographing carp.

    Does anyone have any preferences or tips?

    If the sun is behind the subject I will get a silhouette,
    If the sun is infront of me I get very blown out highlights on the fish, yes I can dial the settings on my camera to compensate, but then the person holding the carp becomes too dark.
    If the sun is at an angle I get shadows across the carp,
    If there's nowhere on the venue which is shaded how do you go about getting a good shot?

    Just wondered if anyone has figured out the best or preferred angle/position when it comes to photographing your catch?

    Thanks

    Myles
