Super flies Maarten. There are some very fine working flies in that group. Some of them are so well tied that I would want to keep them in a fly box and simply look at them. The EP shrimp looks deadly. – Simply superb craftsmanship. The photos are well done also.

thanks Curtis!

Just checked your flies.

I really like what you did with the EP Shrimp.

Cool way to use the EP fiber.

The black tube fly is nice, is the head deer hair? if so that is really packed tight!

what was the lighting setup for the photos?

[Maarten Bruinenberg]

Thanks for all your kind words, The b&b tube fly is tied with a foam head.
You could use deer hair but foam is a lot faster and easier.

The lighting set-up is pretty straight forward, just one sb-900 with a lastolite softbox. I photographed it on a small glass table. If you put your flash really close to your subject and use a small aperture say f26-f22 etc. the background will become black. Even in this case with the background being my wooden floor. I you have to much ambient light a black towel does the trick. Same goes for a pure white background, flash the background on full power, the color doesn’t matter at all.

Best
