Great photo. I'd be curious to know some specifics concerning this shot. Camera, exposure etc.

you right click on the image and select "copy image location" then you come here and write this: [IMG] paste the location of the image here [/IMG]

the brackets and text tell the board what to do I think.

Mark, for the record I'm pretty sure you have two shots merged together on this one

[Marco]

Hey there P. Dieter,
I agree an the photo merge but I was more curious as to the image of the shrimp. There was also a photo of a 35mm camera with this photo and I wonder if THAT was the one.

Cool photo. The clarity of the pattern in the water is quite impressive.

Did you ever notice that when the question of fishing barbless comes up, essentially everyone says they always fish with the barbs pinched down, BUT in virtually every photo of a fly, the barb is there?

There is a fine line between fly fishing, and standing in the water waving a stick.

Marco,

If you go to the link it offers this explanation of how the shot was taken:

"A glass container filled to the rim with ditch water and a big greenish leaf for further colouring in the back of the container. Let the shrimp fly come to rest in the water touching the glass side closest to the lens. Take all the time you need. Shoot your picture at an angle so that the rim of the container becomes the improvised horizon. Use a macrolens and 1/15 exposuretime.

I guess the round glass container worked as a magnifying lens in itself. And I forgot to mention yesterday that there was a large mirror face up ?nder the container - doubling the available light."

Bob,

It's interesting that the he theorizes that a barbless hook does more damage by penetrating too deeply. So does that mean his barbed hooks don't penetrate past the barb?
