St. Lucia Photographer Shares A Photo A Day
With The World For A Year!
The True St. Lucia Master Baiter
Imagine the adrenaline rush getting in close to this speeding boat!
So many things go into making a shot like this…The right lens,
the right angle, and most difficult of all – getting a horizontal
horizon!
This is one shot that I am proud of and that the boat owner really
loved.
A shot like this clearly shows why its so easy for me to make really
great wedding photos, when you realise how infinitely easier it is
working on the ground with an absolutely cooperative couple!

Nice photo shot, and nice site.
I live in the U S Mid-Atlantic region, often fishing the waters of the area.
St. Lucia looks to be a paradise, and I hope to visit some day.
Good luck to you!

Hey Jimi,
Where would that place you? Like in the general sort of latitude of Bermuda?
St. Lucia is beautiful. Think of Hawaii, but not as far. Lot’s of visitors to St. Lucia have often commented that St. Lucia reminded them of Hawaii, so a few years ago I went over to the Big Island to have a look and immediately saw why.
Whenever you get to St. Lucia I’ll hook you up with a spectacular fishing crew. Big Game Fishing is in their blood and these boys were driving boats long before they could even walk…no kidding there!
You really get an appreciation for their skill when you watch them dock a 38 or a 54. They literally drive in, spin round with their backs to the helm and back into the docks without ever looking at the controls.
Oh and they do it in one go and compete to see who can complete the mooring in the shortest time! And this is on any dock, anywhere.
Only thing is on a trip with these guys a good liver is key because Piton Beer can flow like water from a broken faucet!
BTW what do you fish for?
Down here the guys like to go for big game fish like marlin, sailfish and yellow fin tuna. And it’s always a joy to fight mahi mahi because it’s such an aggressive fish that goes through such beautiful iridescent color changes when it is agitated.

Lovely shot.! You really have a gift. Thanks again for sharing. I could comment on them all but will settle for the really impressive ones. I am going to go back and comment on the lava ones from Hawaii. Keep up the good work.
