Initially I had the same problem so I opted for using a flash or taking my pictures of flies in natural sunlight.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] new jig fly for steelhead.. - Dryrod - 05-01-2009 [inline "test 2.jpg"][inline "test 1.jpg"] BTW here are two pictures I took under different conditions. [ol][li]The top photo was taken under a halogen lamp[/li][li]The bottom was taken with the lamp turned on and using a flash. [/li][/ol]Hope this helps you out.

It took me a while to figure out how to place several pictures in a post without doing a lot of extra work. Glad to read that you are making progress. BTW didn't say that you used a cell phone camera, just pointing out that the outcome for them is generally very poor since you mentioned that you had one.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] new jig fly for steelhead.. - lurtch - 05-02-2009 a digiyal camera is last on my list,,got alot of fishing stuff to buy..
