New Pics From a New Camera

Chopham-tied on a 3/0 Alec Jackson (gold)

I recently invested in a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. It's a bridge camera. I didn't feel like I was ready to take the DSLR plunge quite yet, but I think this will either do the trick or, eventually, become a "gateway drug" into the world of DSLRs. I also bought some cheap, clip-on LED lamps. I'm really going to try to up my game photo-wise, so bear with me while I work out the kinks. I'm already impressed with what this camera can do despite only using 10% of what it's capable of.

Once I get my act together, look for more step-by-step posts and possibly some instructional tying videos in the future. Stay tuned...

Here are some miscellaneous shots from the first day...

The Pearl - #4 (Mustad 3371)

Jock Scott - #2 Double

Willie Gunn Dee - 3/0 Alec Jackson

Dirty Bird - #4
(more details on this one soon...a very effective fly!)
