Fly (artificial) and background colours.

Teifi-Terrorist · #1 (**permalink**) 06-05-2008, 09:02 AM

Hopefully someone will be able to help me track down an article that I came across once. It was showing how different backgrounds can be used when photographing flies? Quite a nice article to be fair, but can't seem to find it anywhere

Thanks in advance,

TT.

Not sure if this is the type of thing you are looking for.

No it isn't that one, but thanks for trying WCB. Have read that one before though, and it is a cracking read, and holds a lot of sound advice.

I miss 'flyonly2007' on this furum. Perhaps it was his 'lighting studio' article you had in mind?

It comes with separate blue, red, white and black background cloths and everthing stows away nicely in the integrated carry bag. I tried a few standard flies and equipment photographs with the red and blue backgrounds then I tried a different background technique, which I like.

Then I tried a different background ........ http://www.flyforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17798

There's an article here on backgrounds, though perhaps not precisely the one you are after:

Lots of other useful useful stuff on photography there anyway though.
