Hi Pancho,
Thanks for the kind words. For a few years I spent considerable amounts of enjoyable time at my vise, playing with realistic tying, but, for the past few months, my vise has been dormant due to my constantly wanting to spend as much non-working time either behind my camera or reading photography books. It truly feels great to have a new passion, but once the rainy season sets in, I’ll probably enjoy staying dry behind my vise.
I bought my camera for two reasons, to take better shots of my flies, as well as places I fish. I use a 105mm for my fly tying shots, became interested in photographing real bugs, bought a 200mm, and I think I’m finally set for lenses for a while. Someday I hope to get a 200-400, but the cost is prohibitive.
I have some shots of real insects, more specifically dragonflies, interacting with my tyed flies… Yes, I’m having a lot of fun…. More than I ever expected….
I rushed home to tye a realistic orange dragonfly, could have detailed the legs better, but was back the next day and got some cool pics…
