The Christmas break has given me the opportunity to get out and experiment with my camera. This image of a fish, like the ones I published yesterday, was taken at Palacerigg Country Park in North Lanarkshire. In case you’re wondering, it’s a carp!
As you can probably tell, the image was taken through glass. I thought it looked very striking and I like the detail. I have a strange feeling it was hoping I might provide its next meal.
ISO was set at 3200, aperture f4.5, focal length 32mm and exposure 1/60 of a second. The image, however, has flaws. The biggest are the reflections. Look carefully and you will see the word Canon reflected in the glass!
Even so, I hope you like the picture. I have linked it to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the Photalife blog. Click on the badge below to visit the linky.

Great photo, you’ve captured him at the perfect moment. It really does look like he’d like to eat you! I wouldn’t have noticed the word ‘Canon’, but once I’d seen it I couldn’t un-see it!
Yeah, a few people have said the same thing about the reflection. Should have kept my mouth shut!
I love watching fish there’s something peaceful about it. He does look grumpy
Happy New Year
Thank you for linking up
You’re right Darren, it was strangely peaceful! Thanks for hosting your marvellous linky.
What a fab photo, you managed to get the carp in great detail, I didn’t really notice the reflections until you pointed them out.
I didn’t think I’d get so much detail through the glass. I’m loving my new camera. It’s producing pics of a much better quality.
Great photo – and great detail. I find the glass tricky when I am taking photos – but if you capture it at the right angle it doesn’t show too much 🙂 #mysundayphoto
Now you see I was taking the shot head-on which was possibly a failing. I’ll keep your advice in mind next time.
He has a great expression! The reflections are barely noticeable, great shot 🙂 Happy New Year John x
It is a great expression isn’t it? Happy new year to you also Sara.
He looks a bit mean, especially with that carp ‘tasche. Brilliantly captured though!
Thanks for saying so! The resulting image was better than I expected.
That’s an amazing photo – love the way you’ve captured the fish looking right at you.
Glad you like the pic. It took a few attempts to get the picture but I think it was worth it.
