The Valley of My Childhood [12]

I was thirteen when I left Gauldalen behind, after living there since I was born… In this series it is my aim to show the diversity and daily life in this area, during all seasons of the year.

When I was preparing my former posting and needed a fishing image for the workshop I realised I hardly have good images depicting salmon fishing. That’s why I went out last Saturday to see what was happening down by the Gaula riverside…

Well I found this guy in action, and what an action! I have seen many fly fishers with varying skills, in fact I’m one of them myself but I have hardly ever seen anyone with a casting technique like this fellow! When a good caster is in action it looks so easy…

He covered the full width of the river, and he landed the fly exactly where he wanted! I spent some time admiring his skills, but alas no catch! Good photo weather and good weather for fishing are often opposites! Hopefully I was able to capture an aspect of the excellent casting in this image…

I’m sorry for the technical quality, 300 kB is the minimum for this image to look good but then… you know!

I am adding a treat in the first workshop image, a fish caught later that day but in a different location...

The second workshop photo shows a wider view of the location.

------

Gauldalen is the main valley in the central part of Norway, located in the county of Sør-Trøndelag. The latitude for area is around 64, which is the same as in the middle of Alaska. However, the climate is better than Alaska thanks to an ocean current bringing warm water and more pleasant temperatures across the Atlantic from the Caribbean.

Hi Pablo,

I just forget the technicals, and admire the POV for the concept.
Fascinating is this image.
Beautifull tones, and lights.
Well conceived.
All the best, dear friend.

Hey Pablo
I really like how the water looks here with the stones in it & reflection of the sky
If it wasn't for the fisherman I would thing it's a painting :)

Dear Pablo,
It's a splendid shot with great composition. I like the amazing lights on the water and the peaceful atmosphere. Beautiful shot my friend, Have a nice day

hej pablo,
I found it to be an great fishing image, the kind of pictures that make at least me to longing to moving water and time of adrenalin rushes and neverending nights of undescibable beauty.
skit fiske!
>Anders

That was a big treat. The composition of this shot is brilliant, i think the placement of the guy here is excellent and i like the isolation here. Great shot, the clarity and sharpness is excellent.

Hello Pablo,

I like this photo, even if it seems not in your style. I like the colour and the transparency of the water, and I like the man at the bottom right with the fishing rod in diagonal. These simple elements are enough to make a plasurable composition.

(I couldn't help but remembering a picture of mine, posted long time ago, an experiment I did that turned to be a failure, probably because the subject was in the center (I put him on porpous there) and not by the side like in yours.
If you want to see it, it's
Here)
All the best,
Donato

Hi Pablo,

The water is cristal clear. The presence of the fisherman has an effect of scale. The reflection of the light on the water is an asset to the composition. The light brings out the best of the colors. The subject is well frame. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hi Pablo, it looks very impressive with the way you framed it and the places you gave to the parts of the photo, especial for the man.

Hi Pablo,
Wonderful to see such a clear water mountain stream. Composition with the fly fisher is excellent from your high viewpoint. I think this is oversharpened though. I like the way sparkles show on water but waves have somewhat lost their soft appearance.
Kari

This is a great picture just by looking at the fishing line. I love it. And also, we can see which direction the water is running. Well done..
Antonio

Hello Pablo. I would like to be the guy there casting salmon. The freshness and the clear water is so inviting. Your high angle capture with good diagonal lighting exposing the detail of the river bed. Awesome view and thanks for sharing. Best regards, Jusni

Hi Pablo!

Excellent daily life scene, great timing! Your framing is fantastic, the composition, with few but very interesting elements is flawless! Excellent light managment, too! Congratulations!

Hei Pablo,

A wonderful fly fishing shot. I love the high POV and the crystal clear water. Also perfect timing just before the line will be stretching out in its full length. Also a very good note. You never know if the most skillful casters are the best fishermen. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hello Pablo,
This fellow is having the whole river for himself to enjoy himself with the fly fishing!
perfect moment well capturd on his skill also the good placement of him in the composition!
sharp image with good lighting and details
many thanks for the sharing
take care and my sincere regards always

Hi Pablo,
Wonderful composition with the cristal clear water and the fisherman. Great work my dear friend...
All the best...
Ali Rıza

Hi Pablo.

Nice, nice compo with the river and that man "working" really hard....

Well seen!

Hi Pablo,
A fine action shot with a fish to be caught momentarily. Good idea to show only the water without shoreline and other distractions. Good on and TFS. Gerald

I really like the composition it's very balanced and easy to look at. I think there is a little too much glare on the water in the scene though for my liking.

Olá Pablo

Sensacional composição!
Uma foto maravilhosa com ótima luz e cores; a transparência da água deixa ver as pedras...lindas cores com nuances douradas.

Hello Pablo
La couleur de l'eau rappelle bien la couleur du saumon!!

Hi Pablo,

fantastic shot! the view of the clear water is amazing. splendid composition, colours and reflection. It seems a big river on the main photo and not so big in WS. I can not imagine that you can catch such a big fish. Perfect photo

Malgorzata

Hi Pablo,

It look like he is fly fishing. Nice image showing this fine hobby. The image is well composed and the details, specially the sparkling of the water, very pleasant. I bet this place is very good for spending time outdoors. Thanks Pablo.

Roberto

Excellent simple and effective compo, I like a lot the shining water with its various colors and textures. It is rather hot now in Ploiesti and this makes me envy the happy guy that stays in this nice sunny place (and pleasantly cool, I presume), admire the beautiful river and finally gets the big fish :)

TFS,

Very good image of the fisherman. I like the way you have framed it so the fishing line is diagonally agross the scene, leading our eye to the top left corner. The water is so clear we can see the stones on the bottom of the river. Well done
Kath

Hi Pablo .
A fantastic shot!
An impressing diagonal with the fly fisher in action and another diagonal in the sliding colours from deep blue to golden of the cool clear water, the rippeled surface and the undisturbed look to the bottom of the river makes this photo outstanding !
Have a nice weekend !

Hello Pablo, WOWWWW what a fish I can only dream of catching something like that. A very nice scene with amazing colour. The water tones look fantastic, good light.
Thanks

I looked to both picture in WS, the fish is spectacular, a pity that us friend carper is with vacation, this is also a very great specialist fisherman.
This picture with the fisherman and the long long diagonal line about the picture, care for a very well composition.
Very well done, TFS.

Hi Pablo,
nice shot, the moment when the man casts the hinge is very well captured, the water looks very nice and it must have been a nice, sunny day to go fishing or, as in your case, take pictures. A well done shot!

Take care

Hello Pablo!
Thogh the buy did not catch anything, you've гот an excellent catch: the diagonal of the flying lace and the play of colors among the little waves and stones in the river.
The wshops add a lot of content too.
Friendly greetings!

Hi Pablo,
what have you done to all those landscapes from Norway? Water? ;-) But how pleasant and good coloured in some transparency and added with a fisher. Superb light and water surface.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Olá Pablo, I remember you previous WS and I thought about asking a post like this, but didn't say anything...and here it is :) Marvellous texture and light effect on the river surface. I don't know nothing about this sport, but seeing this movement and your note, I would love to watch a contest...amazing sized salmon in WS - look how happy he is :D The quality? It's excellent for my standards ;-)

Hi Pablo. Wonderful clear water and excellent timing to catch the peak of the action but no fish, that’s why its called fishing not catching. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Hi, Pablo. A good framing that allows us to see the whole action of the fisherman and his line flying above the river. I like the different tones in the river going from light to dark in the top. It must be great to fish in such a river.

Another incredible shot Pablo, that you captured the fishing line in flight is just unbelievable. Color is great as sharpness, well I already said it; you caught the line...

Great capture.

I see a beautiful mix of gold and blue tones reflected on rocky river and of course the judicious location of fisherman that iullustrates completely his skills.
Thanks for TL.

Indeed an attractive action shot and you have portrayed his skills very well here. I enjoyed the lovely colours and the interesting textures of the water. I like salmon and I just wish I have the chance to taste one that is freshly caught from the river. Great shot!!!

Regards and a nice weekend.

Hi Pablo
The light on the water is magical. You have a perfect cropping also
*Very nice

Hi,
The POV os great! We passed through I think on our way up North, a bit earlier though, mid May. Nobody was fishing, and there was no salmon in sight. Nevertheless, the landscape was very impressive.
Greetings,

Hi Pablo,
Salmon fishing on a fly rod ... this would be a challenge considering the size of a sea run salmon. I like your minimalist approach here with great effect. This is a very dynamic shot with the fisherman casting his line. It makes the viewer wonder ... did he caught a fish? A fine presentation and very well captured scene. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Quality is fine, Pablo, but I can just imagine what the large file looks like (posterized!) - you captured the line cast very well. So what if he didn't catch any, you certainly caught good action here!
Cheers

Hello Pablo
Norway is beautiful, this is a stunning fishing shot, I love to do a bit of fishing myself, best I have ever caught was a 40lb halibut in the Pacific many moons ago. Its a great fishing action shot, worthy of appearing in them fishing magazines for sure. Composed superbly with great colours and clarity in the water, but the fishing line itself jumps out from the capture, amazing detail all round, its a great action capture Pablo. Well done
Regards
Jim

hello pablo, excelent shot of a great pastime like the two tones of the water and how the light reflects of it

Hello Pablo, very nice shot of this fisherman. He's perfectly positioned in the frame and you show him in excellent sharp detail, complete with his flying line. This is a deceptively simple looking shot, captured in a superb manner. I see now we are allowed 300K in TE. It's about time.

Thanks, John

Hi Pablo,
Perfect framing with the fisherman and his line making a strong diagonal line. I love the way you captured the loop the gleaming in the air. Looks like a perfect Spey cast, even though the wide-open river doesn't require its virtures. Your excellent light management shows in the clarity of the water.
HLJ, Pat

The water flowing on the rocks is very well captured, with its reflections and shadows. Well positioned the fisherman, but I must confess that I don't like fishing (as hunting as well)....
Wishes, Diana

Very nice shot, Pablo! I believe that you have very good memories from there!
TFS.
Kind regards,
Nivaldo

Hej Pablo,
The movement, the clear water and the fishing line makes it one of your best in my opinion.
Hälsningar

hello Pablo,
this is a wonderful composition with the blue line casting a diagonal.The colouring and dappling of the water is so pretty too.I like so much these kind of compositions, which are both informative and artistic too. A topical subject for me as my husband has recently taken up fly fishing. Having been an haaf netter on the Solway Firth for over thirty years ( haafing was introduced to Scotland by the vikings) he is now learning to fly fish. Yesterday he came home with an empty bag, although two experienced fly fishers fishing alongsie him caught salmon. He very much admired one of the men, whose casting technique is superb. I must show him your workshop image of the big slamon. Perhaps once a year he will catch a twenty pounder in his haaf beam, but not this year..at least not yet.But there is two weeks to go...
regards
Bev

Bonjour Pablo,
Superbe image depuis la composition jusq'à la finesse des détails en passant par la délicatesse des couleurs et la splendide lumière.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard

Am I watching a movie, Pablo?
The action , the drama, the mood, just transports to this location amd I like diving deep to cach a fish.

Regards,

Rajeev

hello Pablo,
A lovely minimalistic composition that really catches both the dynamic quality of the water and the fisherman.
Great colours and sunlight on the water.
Well done!
