Photographing Gar
Florida is home to various gar species, which are unique freshwater fish. They are best photographed in clear springs or swamps, especially during winter when they gather for spawning. Patience and calm movements are essential for getting close to gar for good photos. Use a fisheye lens for wide shots, and diffuse the flash to avoid glare on their reflective skin. Although gar may not be colorful, they are fascinating subjects that can enrich your photography portfolio.
