THE Fishermen at Montauk Point Long Island, NY
About Fly Fishing at Montauk Point New York
from Fly Fish Montauk
During the spring and summer months we encounter a variety of fishing conditions from sight casting to stripers off the shallow flats of Gardiners Island to fishing the fast moving rips of Orient Point and The Race for both bluefish and stripers crashing bait on the surface. Sand eels are one of the predominate baits this time of year. You can fish lots of Clousers and Deceivers along with some of the newer fly patterns. Poppers can always add to the fun. Floating to deep sink fly lines are all used, usually on 9 and 10 weight outfits. For the flats fishing off Gardiners Island, I use a Hewes 18' Bayfisher for stalking both stripers and blue fish that will cruise in less than two feet of water in our productive north shore shallows. Flats fishing can be productive right into early fall. Late August to early September you will see large numbers of False Albacore arriving with smaller numbers of Bonito. Of course the bass and the bluefish are all around this magnificent fishery during the fall run. Surface feeding by all four species occurs almost daily during the fall but lots of big bass still fall to the users of sinking lines. Dependent on water temperature, the albies will stay to mid or late October when they leave for warmer waters. Bay anchovy fly patterns are the order of the day for these line burners. Come early November and hope the herring arrive so you can continue to cast to schools of large bass busting the surface as they ravage these 10" baits. Since 2001 we have been experiencing some very good herring runs starting around Thanksgiving and continuing till mid December. This is the time of year for trophy bass on the fly exceeding 25lbs.

Random thoughts about the art of photojournalistic wedding photography. Take lots of shots.... lots of candid shots. Regardless of using film or digital understand how to get the correct exposures to get the best, brightest, most colorful results. Working in bright sunlight or in any unusual lighting situation, it is essential to be patient and to find a position to have natural light working for you. Capture the highlights on the faces of both the bride and the groom and the entire wedding party. Be aware of skin and hair and soft shadows that add subtle contrast, making the romantic look. Be careful of harsh shadows and sun - change positions carefully and often to get the light is just the right spot. Illuimination is the key. And don't forget, it is always important to be spontaneous; to have fun and to keep a lively sense of humor.
About shooting family photos and portraits at weddings. Make sure You can see everyone's face; that the shot is well lit, everyone is facing the camera and no-one is doing the bunny ears or doing something foolish. It is assumed that someone has their eyes closed. Ask your audience to "close their eyes and open them when I say pizza" wait an extra count of one before snapping the shutter and hopefully , then they will show their gorgeous and attentive eyes. These are the shots that folks want most for their prints, framed photographs and wedding albums.

PA professional photographer/graphic artist since 1989, Michael Weinberg has produced a wide variety of materials, both artistic and technical, for print and web publications, for business, industries and non-profit organizations. Over the years and decades, he has worked hard to sharpen and strengthen my photographic craft and skills, I have formulated several objectives which help to guide me in providing the high quality photography services essential to my clients.
REVEALING HIDDEN BEAUTY
As a PA photographer and artist, his primary goal is to reveal the hidden beauty and special characteristics in all that is captured with the camera’s lens; to find a way to stop time in its tracks, for one incredibly short moment; to provide the viewer a unique perspecitive of nature which surrounds and affects us; to bring out all that is interesting, expressive, colorful, entertaining and beautiful in the complex world around us.
CLEAR, CLEAN, COLORFUL
We have great respect for photographers who specialize in creating awe inspiring special effects, but my technical emphasis is in producing clear, clean and colorful images; to use the advanced technology at my disposal to produce the finest, best composed and best exposed photographs possible; crisply focused features with warm, realistic hues, tones and saturations. In short, Michael Weinberg wants to capture all that is photographed at the best angle and in the best light; he always wants to have, of everything he captures, the best side showing.
