Digital Photography Workshop

Fishing, Photography


This past weekend, I had the pleasure of teaching a basic digital photography workshop in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The workshop was sponsored by my cousin Cory Routh who besides working for the State of Virginia as a marine biologist doing water quality work, runs a kayak fishing service in the Tidewater area called Ruthless Fishing. I hope the students enjoyed and learned something from the Saturday class. I know I enjoyed it. The workshop was held at First Landing/Seashore State Park on Cape Henry, a nice natural area with cypress swamp.

Surf Fishing

Fishing, Travel

This is an image from my files that was shot near the point at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, one of the best surf fishing spots on the East Coast. Hatteras Light is in the background and this photo shows it in it’s original location. Because of beach erosion, the lighthouse was moved inland to protect it in a massive engineering project.

Fishing on Lake Jocassee

Fishing, Outdoors


(Photograph copyright 2008 by Dan Routh)

Shot on Lake Jocassee in South Carolina. This was one of those mornings that you remember as a photographer. There was a light fog hanging over the lake at sunrise. As the sun came over the mountains, the fog lifted slightly, and the light that played on the water was spectacular but subtle. What’s the old saying? “F/11 and be there.” Usage was for an intro shot for an outdoor catalog.
