The camera on your phone is better than the one I started out with, so that isn't what's costing you the picture. It's the light. Nearly everything I've shot that people actually stop on was taken in the first or the last hour of the day, and here's the bit that catches most people out, I shoot towards the sun rather than away from it. Everyone gets told to put it behind them. Do that and you get a squint, a flat looking fish and a white sky. Turn round, get the low sun behind the fish instead, and it rims the back and lights the flank right through. Then wet it. The mat and the fish, which you're doing for the fish anyway, and it's also the only reason the scales come up gold instead of dull. Get down to it as well, camera at the fish and not up at your eye height, because shooting down on a forty makes it look like a double and I've done that to plenty of good fish over the years. And take three, not one. Timer on, both hands on the fish, let the camera work. One frame is how you end...
