OK, so I got really motivated by the other thread on taking photos of flies, so rather than hijack that I thought I would start this one.
I read through the first tutorial by Neal posted in trhe other thread (thanks they are awesome!) and had my first real attempt at taking pics of flies. I tried a couple and I am basically looking for any feedback anyone can give me.
I was using a Fujifilm Finepix XP15…
Thanks in advance!

Edit: Doh, realised this also should probably be in the photography section, sorry…
Nick,
Those are some nice pics. I like the Partridge and orange fly. What are the top two patterns? They look like some real fish catchers.
Thanks for sharing.
-AllynHey Allyn– ummm I don’t really know what to call them… the top pattern I was kinda going for a copper bugger type of fly but I used a dubbing loop with a blend of some cool flashabou dubbing that I found… It basically comes from being a cross DDH leech/bugger thing… the second fly I just really was experimenting with the Chartreuse/white combo and went with a chartreuse marabou tail/white rabbit fur, sparkle body dubbed body/chartreuse marabou collar to see what I came out with… still no idea for a name… I tend to experiment…
The partidge and orange I have to say that I am really happy with how that pic came out, it kinda wow’ed me a bit and gave me hope that I was doing something right…
As for fish catchers, I hope so, at least 2 months before the water unfreezes, and then I’ll get to test them out… thanks for the feedback!
