After reading though your website and a little practice, I ended up with these. I’m happy with them. What do you think?
and here are a few from this weekend, I know this pose is played out, but the fishing sucked, so I had to do something.
Josh . . . I really like the fly shots. Nice application of the black background, next we can get you up with some white/colored backgrounds, which are a bit more challenging. Those are great flies, did you tie them? Nice.
In the future, you will need to get a front reflector to bounce some light on to the front of the flies. Alternatively, off-camera flash works better but is more costly. Overall very strong work and it looks like you were having fun and learning!!!
I am pleased to see more people shooting flies. It really is an area of fly fishing photography that has been lacking. Glad that my posts and tutorial are helping people. I am a nerd at heart, ha. It is one thing that I can give back to the community for all the help provided to me in other areas like landscape, portraits, etc.
Edit:
Thanks, i’m glad they showed up. My plan is to work with the white background next. I tied the ep perfect minnow and the fly in the pic with the blueback herring, it’s a cowen’s mag. minnow. The others are from a fly shop. thanks again for the info on your site.
