The shots you describe are usually taken in a typical fishing situation with a background which is the swim.
For something different try taking the shots from a number of angles to give a bit of interest. Using a larger aperture will give an out of focus background which concentrates the eve on the object you are photographing.
It is important to decide what type of shot you are looking for. A shot of a reel leans more towards the product side of things where a general shot of the equipment in use is something different.
One thing to watch out for is that you look at what is featuring in the shot as well as what it is you are photographing. I have seen one shot of a set up spoilt by the porn mag left hanging around on a bedchair.

Just come by three Yashica/Contax film SLRs and six lenses. Not worth a candle by all accounts but anybody know if there are any modern digi bodies that might accept the lenses? Got a very nice Contax 24mm f2 which is crying out for a good body to sit on (if you get my drift).

Nice one Ken. Adapters are available in Nikon mounts. Worth a search on the web. Be careful as some specify certain models and most suppliers are overseas.

You should be able to get well exposed and sharp images with this camera, Half the battle is in the composition which makes a huge difference. Wish you luck and look forward to seeing the results.

Any users of Picasa on here? Just need a tool for simple editing and correction. Would consider other recommendations and not adverse to spending a few quid if it will benefit me.

Try Pixlr.com, most of what you need and it's free or PicMonkey mostly free. For something a tad more pro try GIMP, not that user friendly but does work

would have been nicer if there was more brake lights to add a red streak , but there was a break in traffic !
