Taken while paddling on an Adirondack lake on July 4 weekend. I
was very impressed by how well the K7 handled the exposure.

Wish I were there. Sigh...
;-)
Of course I'd rather be taking the photo than killing innocent
wildlife
Innocent? Hardly. Fish are the handmaidens of the devil. They can only
redeem themselves by prostrating themselves before us on a plate.
<g,d&r>, but it's a wonderful photo of an idyllic scene.
And, yeah, the exposure is amazing!
cheers,

ps: I know there are those who practice catch and release, but were I
a fish I'd prefer going through life without a hole (or scar) on the
side of my mouth.
Seriously, the mouths of most fish are a bony construction backed by a
thin film that seems able to take a hook without significant damage.
Since men have been fishing with hooks for perhaps millions of years
that my well be a product of evolution. On the other hand, I don't
really see the logic of catch and release. To me, fishing purely for
enjoyment is less acceptable on a moral level than fishing for food.
However, I have no deep problem either way and have done both. Grace
and I plan on hitting the one of the local lakes again next week. We
will probably catch only bluegills, thereby helping to thin out an
overpopulation.
