Great winter flies. I too would like a close up.

exactly why I have a Samsung. love my macro function and use it all the time.

google how to take macro shots with iphone, its easy but you just need something to help the camera focus closer


example of my phones close up ability

JTats you're tying some nice buggy stuff, tons o' movement I suspect

Your last set of pics are a lot better for close-ups. Did you try googling tricks for picture taking using iphones ?

If I was to tie a June bug fly it would have to be on a size 2 salmon hook at least. Those bugs are definitely not small.

here is a fly instead to show how well a properly used Macro can be. Hook is a size 16 scud hook. I use my phone almost exclusively for my picture taking

These are tied on shanks with a #2 hook. The problem with photos are definetly my lighting. I'm noticing I get better shots when they are in the vice. I'll start posting the pics when the are fresh and messy in the vice.
Thanks for looking and I think I should get a lot of movement out of these.
