About the Image(s)

Location: Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee.

I'm changing pace this month with a photo of a fly fisherman. Is flyfishing a sport? Yes! The world flyfishing championship was held in Idaho Falls in September. It is a one-person, very quiet sport. No cheering crowds or need for impact protection. This photo captures the subtle action in flyfishing: the cast.

Camera & lens: Canon EOS R5 with a Canon EF 70mm-200mm f4 lens at 138mm.

Exposure: 1/250 sec, f/8, ISO 160.

Camera/lens: handheld.

Postprocessing: Photoshop for cropping, and minor brightness and contrast adjustment. Topaz Photo for sharpening
