Your realistic stuff is so top shelf Graham.
Any chance I could get you to work on a Kate Beckinsale for me?
I have a couple Pelicans and lately I’ve been going with my 1450 (dividers rather than foam) for almost everything.
Good suggestions so far.
For daylight shots, you generally want to use the lowest possible ISO unless you intentionally want to introduce some grain to the photo.
My next suggestion (after ensuring you are using matrix metering) is just to use the exposure compensation (+/-).
Another appears on P. 48; he calls it ‘without provenance’ but dates it 1900 to 1920. I think that one may have a slightly different handle configuration.
Most of these reels were stamp-cut out of nickel silver or lower-quality brass (often coated in nickel silver), then assembled with rivets or sort of weak welds.
That is very close to what I’ve found out in the last few days too Zach.
I don’t own the D-10, but in my experience Canon and Lumix (Panasonic) make the best point & shoot gear.
Brett,
It’s hard to tell much from the photo but the older reel looks to be a production reel ca. 1890 or so. I’m certainly not an expert, but if you really want to know send a few detailed photographs to Yoshi Akiyama at the American Museum of Fly Fishing (amff.org). He will be ale to tell you immediately.
Hey thanks Michael, I’ll be doing that later today.
