Brilliant tutorial James, learned loads from it. More importantly it’s given me more confidence just to have a go at different ways of taking fly photos. Really liked how genuine your approach is. Thank you for this tutorial and sharing. 👍☘️
Thanks a lot Neil! I would love to see you finding your way even though you take great shots already!
Thank you so much for making this video! The part you showed having a white board on the other side of the fly was an amazing trick! So much more you covered! Thank you again!
Also I am glad to have found how you make insect wings from feathers. Genius! Hope you will put videos of your fly tying into RUclips. I don’t use social media software so I hope I will see your fly tying videos from youtube! (^_^)
Thank you so much! Glad you found it useful.
As always, fantastic. Love your work so much. Wire settings is insane. Need to figure out how to remove wire.
Part about honesty is probably my favourite part. Hope to see more of your videos. You are unique and inspirational. Cheers 🍻🍻
Thank you so much Vladimir! I love your work too!
@@onceandaway i need to up my photography just made few flies... I will try to apply some advice from your video 🍺
Hi James,
Thank you very much for your tutorial. It was awesome. I bought the ring lighting mechanism that you showed. I really like it. When I use my Olympus TG 6 though on microscope level the fly whites out. I can figure out how to correct this. Do you have any suggestions.
Thank you,
Mike
Hi Mike! I don't remember the exact fine tuning on the TG-5 but I'm pretty sure you have a dial that can change the exposure compensation value (between -3.0 and +3.0 I think) and I probably used that. If you can have manual control over the shutter speed it's best to use that. I used the remote app a lot also.
@@onceandaway Thank you James very much!!
Nice tutorial… I liked the light device where you put the fly in the middle with ring light around pointing inward, you said it was lamp for fly photo… do you have a link to the web shop?
Hello Kim! I bought mine from a guy Russia who makes them, so I don't know if that works anymore... I know a great swedish guy named Ola who makes similar ones as well.
