I am quite new to digital photography but really enjoy taking nature and landscape shots. As an angler, sometimes I have a camera handy, as this day when a small(large) sunfish was caught while casting for bass on a bass lure nearly as big as he was. He was released quite unharmed... so don't worry.
Birds are wonderful subjects, but I have always thought of fish as jewels under water.
BTW , this hand held shot was taken with a Canon rebel and a very inexpensive 18-55 lens with some good light (rare on Vancouver Island)
Critiques are very welcome.... I have a lot to learn
