One of the fringe benefits of working for an outdoor company like Adventure-Crew is getting to play for a living. Not many guys can say that they went to work today and took their dog fishing.
This photo of Mike Pudlo, our lead videographer and his dog Sergeant Ruphiz fishing in Lake Homer, east of Champaign, Illinois is one of the photos being considered in the series that we shot recently for a manufacturer's catalogue. We regularly shoot video and photos for manufacturers like Sea Eagle, the maker of this commercial grade inflatable that fits in a car trunk. I shot this with my trusty Cannon Rebel using Clint's Cannon 80-300 telephoto and my CP filter. A true team effort. Notice the beautiful golden highlights on everything. The "golden hour" really paid off on this shoot. That would take hours of work in PhotoShop to duplicate and I'm not even sure that it would match the natural effects of God's golden color that He gives us many times a month for free.
