A
DIY Light box for under $40. I know my buddy 'Pacres' built one simillar and
it works great. But I could not be bothered
to
clutter my tying bench with more stuff.

And
really, we are talking about photographing small flies here after all, a
piece
of paper rolled into a tube could also work
as
a 'Micro Light Box'. Check out this sample with a shiny lithium battery in it
for how well it works.

I
personally use this contraption I had custom made for me, with an overhead
flourescent light, as my diffusor.

Finally,
low-tech, simply place them on a flatbed scanner – which works best for

too.

Re: [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies
I built a light box using Kyle Hand's instructions on the McFeathers.com site, however I had a shadow behind bog streamers, so this year I picked up a ring flash. It solved the shadow problem and I can use it at shows with a piece of mat board as a background. Actually I watched someone photograph everyone tying at Conclave and went to see just what he was using, sweet idea. And don't look for a Brand name ring flash, the Nikon one is out of sight price wise, but there are a couple of ones in the $100 area, that work just as well Peggy Brenner On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 1:24 PM, Taylor, Lance lance.tay...@sobeys.comwrote: More thoughts on this.

RE: [SPAM] Re: [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies
When you hook the camera to the computer, it sees the camera as a USB storage device. It shouldn’t actually connect to the computer until you tell it to. Some cameras have a specific switch, most will switch when you turn the camera to view pictures. Using some picture capture software will allow you to use the computer hard drive as the storage device rather than the memory card in the camera. I use my video camera direct to the laptop to do that, which I can also use for still shots.

Re: [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies
My software connects to the camera in the same camera mode as when you upload your pictures. The release button still works, but the viewfinder screen is black. That live screen picture you would have on your camera screen is on the computer screen (the little one to the right on my picture). They don't work parallel. You can still use the release button, but the rest is in the hands of the software on the computer. /Nick -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] För Don Ordes Skickat: den 19 december 2009 23:15 Till: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Ämne: Re: [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies I checked my camera out and hooking up to the computer via the cable turned off all camera functions.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies
As far as I see Nick is using a canon camera. I used one years ago. Canon is delivering some software with the camera which allows a remote control of the device. That means you can control the camera, change setup. At least with my camera, with the software you had more options as with the camera itself. But it usually needs Windows Rene, on Linux J Balmer wrote: When you hook the camera to the computer, it sees the camera as a USB storage device. It shouldn’t actually connect to the computer until you tell it to. Some cameras have a specific switch, most will switch when you turn the camera to view pictures. Using some picture capture software will allow you to use the computer hard drive as the storage device rather than the memory card in the camera.

Re: [SPAM] Re: [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies
Right on. That's a Canon PowerShot... which we bought after asking Hans W for advice. We were so happy with that, so after she'd killed it, we bought another one. LOL There was a remote capture software coming with that one. A little more basic than the PSRemote software, but it worked fine. I didn't discover that it was there until I had PSRemote installed though. PSRemote is a Breeze Systems product. It's designed for PowerShot models.

Re: [VFB] RE: Photographing Flies
Tony: Yeah, I'll see if I can find the exact buyer. if not, I offered mine to somebody else, but if they don't want it, I'll GLADLY give mine to you. Reason being is that I bought it back when we were selling on ebay. It also has several color back drops to put in it that gives you different colored backgrounds. And it sets up in SECONDS. I take my fly pics by using the foam board from Hobby Lobby set up behind the fly. I have a retractable arm tying light. I have a 100watt Fluorescent bulb of the blue spectrum (daylight) variety). I then set the camera to macro, flash OFF, and I just adjust the white balance, or exposure balance till I get it to where I want it. I also take the macro OFF, stand back a few feet and zoom in (with the flash ON) and take the pics that way.

Re: [VFB] Material Source Req'd- Peccary and 50/100 Gel Spun thread
Can you trade a kangaroo for a set of pec's ?

I am looking for PECCARY hairs. If I am not mistaking the spelling, peccary has some fantastic hairs which can be wound to form amazing bodies with a heavily mottled effect. I know it is not rope dubbing but what can one do!! Does anyone have a good source of either, or know of a place selling them at decent prices? I will probably need a couple dozen gel spun bobbins, and would like a good sized bunch of peccary. If you have an excess supply of either and want to sell or trade, or know of a good source, please let me know. My mate (a brilliant tyer) and I (a not brilliant tyer) need some of both. Thanks Guys, Reuven -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

[VFB] Snow storm back east
We just went thru a severe storm last week here in the west. We received 18 here at the Sierra Base and above 5000' they received 2-6 ft and more of snow. Now we are battling frozen fog, ice and cold wind. Water pipes are feezing all over the place. Get all your quilts out, store up some heating supplies, easy to prepare food, your tying supplies and train your dog to lay on your feet. Merry Christmas all! May your GOD be your fishing partner.
