Tackle

Its time to tackle those digital images - The days of poor quality carp photographs should be a thing of the past especially by anglers sponsored by fishing tackle companies, yet they are not. I recently asked a carp fishing angler, who by consequence was sponsored by a fishing tackle company to take a few snaps of a good 30 of course he agreed, on checking the images (yes you can do that with digital cameras) I found a very small me with a very good fish in the centre of a large image, I then proceeded to explain where to stand and how to get the best out of a shot, after trying my patients a little he eventually got there. This is not the first time it seems to be more the norm when I’ve asked a carp angling enthusiast to get digital! Hence the reason I have decided to put this piece together, to assist you in gaining the best out of current technology i.e. image capture, upload and storage using digital cameras.

Digital tackle

Digital cameras and traditional cameras are very much alike in many respects. The biggest difference is the way images are captured. With traditional films, they are captured on silver-based film. With digital cameras, the carp angler are captured on solid-state devices called image sensors.

With this techinology carp angling no longer need to retain fish for long periods of time whether by day or night. Cameras are capable of taking photographs at any time during the 24 hour clock.
