Re: [VFB] Photographing Flies

[Tony]

With your permission I will fwd your message to a friend of mine that 
teaches this and puts on presentations on taking fly photos. I think he 
has contributed to a web site on line.
Get back to me off list.

I think I remember some time ago a thread about photographing flies.  The
problem is that I can't recall much of what was mentioned.  I am hoping to
start to try photograph some of my flies as I will hopefully be submitting
some articles to a new magazine here.
Anyway,
I was hoping to get some tips with the photographs.  Could anyone point me
in the right direction with regard to background colour, light, flash etc.
I have Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera with Macro lens.  This is a 5m
pixel camera and has a good optical zoom.
Any hints tips or advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Kevin
