Polish Fly
Open Division

And winner of the 2014 Salmo g. excellence in photography award.

The Open Division guys are secretive.
Photos (if any) are always low res.

Those were tough times Luis. Wonka had no contingency for the economic downturn. Layed off all of us but one and then carbon copied him. I had to take out 2 of those Lollipop Guild munchkins to secure that store front.

I appreciate the photography award. Never considered myself worthy, but hey if Obama can get the Nobel Peace Prize I guess anything is possible.

Just set the vice up and organizing the fishing room. The Polish II is in the works. Might take a couple days though since I am going back to work tonight.

Yeah, I hear ya', ya' ole reprobate. Mrs. Salmo didn't get 'er done after tennis Saturday, and Sunday was dedicated to the SB. And tonight she's at a meeting of the condo board. May come as a surprise, but this isn't her highest priority . . .

All right guys it is time for the unveiling of the Polish II.

Take your pick. Gotta go to work so I have money to do what I really enjoy.

Tight Lines

Some major upgrades over version 1.0!

No good reason a self respecting fish wouldn't eat those. Good on ya.

Just did a quick fly shop drive by for some new feathers and fur. Picked up some silver pheasant and arctic fox each in a few shades. Looking forward to messing around with each. Also grabbed some golden pheasant tippet and amherst died orange. I have an idea for an intruder style fly that incorporates a General Practioner style and materials. Might turn out to be crap, we'll see.

Nice....look like seductive swimmers.

Hard to tell with that secretive low res, but I suspect there are some dance hall floozies missing some plumage.
That must be what the money is for ?

OK, so it copied the code associated with the photo, but where's the f'in picture? Sure glad this is easy as pie. F'it.

This thread needs more moon pics

Hehehe...

1) Wipe the Vaseline off your lens

2) There should be several different types of code presented
Use the "Forum Code"

If there is no "Forum Code" then frame the normal code with [img]____[/img]

I had Redhook help me with the macro setting . . .

I did the over the mouse over the picture waiting for the drop down menu that never happened, so I right-clicked and got a drop down menu that contains no choices that copy the fvcking picture from there to here.

I can only conclude that anyone who posts photos here has no real life with anything else to do. It took me a f'in hour-and-a-half to upload the photos off my camera - had to use my notebook computer cuz my desktop refused, even with Mrs. Salmo's assistance - then to Photobucket cuz that's so f'n much quicker than using the PP instructions. Sheesh, I'm with Strikezone, why the F bother?

Because there are so many mental fukkers on here that can do this, it is now a matter of pride my good man.
I use Image Shack, but maybe a Photobucketeer can jump in and help you navigate.

Those look great John.


Salmo g.....thanks for the long awaited pic.

+1

Nice looking bugs.

OK, the Orange Heron is the fuzziest close up I took, but the others are not nearly as sharp as BUs latest photos, not even by a long shot. My digital camera is a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot. My old SLR is a Nikkormat with all manual settings for shutter speed, f-stop, focus, etc. I've never used the digital in anything but point and shoot mode. Do you have to fiddle with the settings to get sharp macro close ups. I mean, if BU can do it, I'm convinced it ain't rocket science.

Hehehe...
There should be a macro setting on your point-n-shoot.
Maybe a symbol like a large flower or something....

Those are purdy BU.

That was pretty damn funny. Classic KK form.

It shouldn't take but a minute or two from pushing the button to posted photo once you are relatively familiar with the technology. It certainly ain't rocket surgery but I hear Salmo still writes letters with hammer and chisel.

DD,

I found the macro setting thingy on the camera, so that is not the issue. Biggest issue is my desktop 'puter just won't upload from my camera any more. I had to load them to my notebook computer, download to a flash drive, then upload to my desktop, then to Photobucket, then the failure to post it up on PP. I kid thee not about this being nothing less than a complete pain in the ass.

BU,

Surely it would be difficult to disparage your name, good or otherwise. And I recommend you select alternatives to dawn behind the Shell station and pistols. First, me being up and around in Forks at dawn is unlikely at best, and second, you may want to re-think my point and shoot skills, cuz I been gettin' in a fair amount of practice in recent months with both the 22 and 9 mm, having gotten a couple big boxes of both this past fall. (If posting pics were as easy as Coley alleges, I'd post a photo of a couple targets with the bulls eyes blacked out.) Alas, the 22 is all shot up and gone, but I got a couple three hundred rounds of 9 mm left however. For your safety, I recommend a duel with point and shoot cameras. But I suggest a couple wee drams, to steady your nerves, well, your hand at least. You'll probably win, and we'll both be alive to tell about it.

Oh, but if you actually took those pics with your phone, I may just haul off and kill you anyway.
