Hi Urbanflyman

a good first attempt,,it will get better as you begin to learn some photography skills....

here are a few hints (not that im any expert)..

try placing a BLUE card behind the fly as it shows up a lot more detail..
zoom in a little closer so that you show more of the fly as it helps to show the pic`s a bit clearer OR you could crop the photos,,alternatey you can use MACRO mode if your camera has that function....

here is an example of using a BLUE card backround and zooming in a little
this image could also have been cropped




this image also uses a blue backround but this time it was cropped
it makes the fly and the details so much better



hope this is of some help to you...

thankyou i will try that on my next one and i am going to try using my macro lenses too ,i am also in the process of building a photo studio which will also help with picture quality which i know is of extreme importance as is good detail of tying method
its just another step in my quest to become a competent tyer

I'm thinking of some klinks and a few spider patterns as these are probably my best work at the moment although Ive also pulled a few great nymphs and even the odd salmon flie which i was really pleased with and totally enjoyed tying...
