  1. You are posting some beautiful flies. Ray
  2. You had posted a link to a site, Flytying: New & Old, yesterday with what I assumed was your work. I went there, read, and was thoroughly impressed, beautiful flies and great information, plus huge it appears. I didnt make it all the way through of course. Thank you for the help! Ray
  3. That sounds like a good idea! Thanks! Let me know when you get it done. Ray
  4. Mike, I hadn’t thought about it from that standpoint, continuing the discussion into January, but after you mention it, I understand your thoughts. I agree. Thanks again for the link. Ray
  5. Mike, Unfortunately, I am a photo neophyte so I appreciate your suggestion on the other Board. I’ve been in and out of here for years and didn’t even know a Photography Board exited. I’ve just overlooked it. In a short time, I read quite a bit there, learned a lot more than I already knew, and can see how I can improve things already, but I’m also pretty certain I won’t derail anything here with only 2 days left in December by asking one question, especially after several other technique questions and responses have been posted throughout the month resulting only in increased knowledge. Having enjoyed the spectacular images found on this thread, I can see no better place to ask a related question just as others have already done. I believe the “Monthly Flies from the Vise” is a great idea and a spectacular success in improving the abilities of all who participate through tying, photographing, and posting, or just reading all the posts and being stunned by the images, but when you have the flies, the images, and the people who both tied and photographed them, I can’t think of a better place to learn how they did it. I understand your concern but learning here throughout each month, whether tying technique, materials, photographic methodology, or anything else related to making this thread better seems a great goal to me. Because of that, I believe related discussions occasionally interspersed through the thread during the month can only increase the abilities and knowledge of all of us who participate and read here daily. Thanks again for the link. It helped. Ray
  6. HMH Standard, Kimo. I just read some of your info, along with others, on the Photo Board, and your website, through the link Mike posted. All of that certainly helped me understand this better. I really know very little about photography, but I’ll improve given a little time and this new knowledge. Ray
  7. I would appreciate knowing what cameras each of you who have posted the big, beautiful images of well-tied flies are using to achieve these results, and I would love to see an image and description of the set-ups you have for lights and refraction. I saw Kimo's and the cardboard box which I thought was ingenious. I would like to see more and also get any suggestions for improving my photography. I have said for several years I was going to do better in that area, a new camera, or actually in my case, "A Camera", rather than my iPhone and iPad. I am also going to set up a light system and some type of box or enclosure, but as far as knowledge, I am winging it, except or what I am learning from y'all, and I thank you for that!! Ray
  8. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for brightening my morning, Eide. Ray
  9. Those are beautiful, great job!! Ray
  10. You run some pretty good experiments! Usually experimental projects don’t turn out so beautifully, but your’s always seem to do just that. Ray
  11. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!! I hope everyone has a great day. I have enjoyed this site for years even though I watch more than I post. Your flies and discussions brighten my day and life. Glad you are there!! Take care, Ray
