Gildy Nov 2007
As Rob I visited Gildy yesterday (the first time for me) we had a great chance to play in the shallow and get some photos of the Pike and take advantage of the great lighting provided by a low, bright sun.
Unfortunately the sun was so bright that it often resulted in clear backscatter on a number of pictures - and that was without any strobes. Anyway, here are a few of my better attempts:

These are my best efforts of the day:
1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  9. 10. Comparing what Tim and I got from the day I think TTL really helped me, as did having the flexibility of 10-17mm with my Tokina, compared to his 10.5. No.5 still needs a bit of work on the belly, but I'm in two minds whether 5 or 7 is the best photo I have EVER taken. Photos 1 & 2 were taken with my new Sigma 105mm, which I think is going to take a bit of getting used to. Rob PS there are lot more shots at Cussy/Guildy 07 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Bloody Hell Rob, those photos looked good on your LCD but on screen they are absolutely cracking!
Well done. Between 5 and 7? I think 5. It has everything for me.

Between 5 and 7 I certainly prefer 5. Just a bit of a shame about the highlights. My personal preference is for 10. The texture of the surface is what makes it. The horizontal reed is a bit of a detraction but I think the picture is strong enough to carry it.
