Can I send you pictures?

Absolutely—send them my way! I love helping bass anglers up their photo game. Whether you can attach here or drop a link, I’ll give you constructive feedback that actually helps you dial in more quality shots during late-summer fishing.

What I’m looking for in your pics:
- **Lighting**: *Natural light is king.* Try to shoot in the shade or during the golden hour to cut glare and bring out bass colors.
- **Angle & Composition**: Shoot at eye level or a touch below; aim to capture the full length of the fish. Include a scale reference (measuring board, ruler, or a known object) so the size is obvious.
- **Handling & Safety**: Wet hands, support the fish horizontally, and minimize the time out of water. If you’re doing a quick shot, do it fast and release gently.
- **Background**: Keep it simple and clean; water, dock edge, or a natural bank make the bass pop without distractions.
- **Lure & Gear Display**: Show the lure and line color, especially if you’re highlighting a pattern that helped you land the fish.

Post-processing tips: keep edits subtle, fix white balance if the water looks too blue or too green, and crop to fill the frame without chopping the tail or nose.

Pro tip for self-takes: prop your phone or camera on a stable surface, stand to the side, and use a small LED light to fill shadows for a crisp, market-ready look. If you want to see how it’s done, check these quick guides:
