The trout's in the burn

They're not in a burn at all, they're in a pond at a fishery but they are rainbow trout.
Lester and his Last Of The Summer Wine friends went off for one of their adventures on Tuesday, so I went off for one of my own to try out my circular polariser filter to get some shots of these fish. I bought it a while back and then put it in the bag and left it there! Typical novice's gadget buying behaviour on my part - get a fancy new toy without thinking about what to do with it and if I need it at all. Never mind, I can always learn.
Edit. Used it here.

I have never seen Rainbow Trout. They are beautiful and now I know why they are named that :-)

Great capture. I must say they are delicious.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Gorgeous shot. My only problem is that in my minds eye I see them baked with almonds! Yum!

[SquamLoon]

Lovely shot that truly brings out their rainbowness.

[carol white]

A beautiful clear capture,Alison!!

[Myrna O'Hara]

What glorious colors. i've only eaten trout once but it was very good.

[Hamble]

Good colours, and a beautifully clear shot.

[Mac]

I like the way you describe things and am enjoying looking back at your lovely, fun photos!

[Milanie]

Love your posting and commentary - the light on the trout is great. They are such a pretty fish, both to look at and to eat.

[Lisa Stein]

Love their speckles and pink undersides. I made the same rookie purchase recently and haven't tried it out either. Intimidated by a filter.... it's a sad story.

[Maria Swaisland]

Lovely shot, beautiful fish.

[elkehochban]

They are such pretty fish! I keep my polarizer on all the time - it's fantastic for snowy shots, bright noontime shots, seeing through water shots... once you've used it, you'll never take it off. ;-)

[Rosie Kind]

Fabulous shot

[crewnelson]

Beautiful colours

[Matt Clendon]

Lovely subtle colours with the specking over their backs and the pink gils and fins. I'm not sure what a circular polariser filter does, but you seem to be making good use of it. I'll have to look it up. Always good to practise with a new filter and to see how it works.

[Netkonnexion]

A cool capture. Fish are quite difficult to get right in a good picture. The more to the side you get the better. You have done well here.

[Jen Hudson]

Looks like your polarise filter has worked well with this water shot. I presume from elke's comment that it helps to focus through the water? It's a lovely shot whatever. You have got all the detail and colour of them. I think a shot of the last of the summer wine three could be a winner!

Wonderful rainbow shot.... But I too can see them on a plate for dinner!

[Jen Hudson]

Alison, I just saw a comment on Alison Tomlins site re the filter. She said she used it to enhance skies along with wide angled lens. Her skies are certainly amazing.

[Jennifer C]

love the detail here, they have lovely markings! Enjoy your 'new' toy, I use my filter all the time

[Judi]

wonderful shot of these colorful fish. FAV

[Gena Pegg]

Perfect! What a wonderful photo! Glad you used it and had such success with it, encourages me to branch out a little. Very very nice!

[Taffy]

Fantastic shot -- love the color, the grouping of the fish, the overall composition. Very cool shot.

[Kazzy]

Awesome colour! I'm sure they were moving around quite a bit, great capture :)

[Laura J.]

Wow, very nice.
Fisher's dream

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. They are so beautifully coloured.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@jennywren Thank you for that, Jen. I'm going to have to have a think about using one for landscapes on sunny days - if we ever get any!
As far as I can make out it's like polaroid sunglasses for your lens. :)

[jerry plume]

Great capture! Love their markings!

[Gloria]

Gorgeous, subtle color!
