Well, one of the things I like the most about it's just an excuse to go outside and go see new places and travel around. That's this lake for example, like you wouldn't really come out here for any other reason, besides maybe trying to catch some fish. One of the big draws too- at least for me. It's springtime in Laramie, Wyoming and that means the snow is melting, the ice on the lakes is breaking up, and the local fishermen are coming out of hibernation to cast their lines. Today we're here with professional photographer Ben Kraushaar. As he wades through the cold water taking photographs of the local anglers.

I primarily shoot adventure based photography mostly fly-fishing and mountain biking. I got into fly-fishing one summer when I was working for the Forest Service doing stream surveys outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A lot of the stuff I shoot I like shooting almost water level. Shooting low and finding cool little foreground elements to shoot through. Finding little natural windows, I love shooting through all these little cattails. Then sometimes I like shooting really high, especially on these lakes because you can basically eliminate everything except for the fisherman in the water. I like to try to make it look simple. I usually take a lot of pictures, especially to catch like the moments where the rod's bent in half, that's really hard to time, like blasting 10 frames per second. Snow's coming, it's great. Make for some moodier photos and colder fishing.

So usually by April 2nd most of the lakes have iced out, but this winter has been really, brutally cold. So last year at this time, we were wearing like sandals. A little bit different this year. I mean they've got to be hungry they've been like sitting under a sheet ice for the last six months. Come on trout where you at? If I had to choose one focal length to bring with me fishing, Tamron 35 millimeter f-18. I think it's one of the more versatile focal lengths. I mean you can kind of step back and shoot wide scenes or you can bump in and get like nice tight details. It's a great lens when you have all your fishing gear, it's easy just to throw one nice prime in the bag. And it is compact too. For storage, like a kangaroo.

There's so much more that goes into fishing and actually catching fish. Regardless of whether or not we catch fish it's always fun just taking pictures of the people fishing. So the next time you find yourself capturing images of the big catch, remember to use foreground elements to frame your subject, shoot from all different angles, and don't forget your long johns.
