Re: Macro Fly Photography - A Process

Great posts. I'm really enjoying the journey here. About making the picture look more like the fly, at least color-wise.

Re: March Brown Flymph Var. I

The bubbles are from pressurized tap water. Water under pressure will have dissolved air, which will come back out of solution once the pressure is released.

Bob,
The web page said it was duck breast? Didn't say what kind of duck.

I find it annoying to get everything set the way I want it, and the AF decides it wants to select the backdrop as the focal point. I have\n't progressed to the point of buying/building/repurposing a light box stage for ...
