    Default Getting ready for this winter!


    Tied up a bunch, getting ready for this winter. Working on the road has its pros and cons and this is a pro in my opinion. Not only will I be all stocked up for the winter run I'll have some new combos to try out.

    I'm still trying to figure out how to get the best picture shots with lighting but it's tough.

    I make 4 of each for new color combos and 8 for one's I catch fish with. I took a bunch home when I got off for memorial weekend.

    I think I've made between 180 to 200 so far.

    Looks like your doing fine and on the pictures, I do use a camera and just what ever overhead lights I have. Then I usually take one with a flash and one without. Then I adjust the picture with the computer software that came on it and post the best pic. Will be very hard to use a phone camera and get what you want. Close up shots are best!

    I've been using my phone, to tight to buy a camera. But by golly I can go to Barlow's and spend $100 on tying supplies lol.

    Thank you guys, I'll have a hard time choosing which ones to use when that time comes. I was going to Ray Robert's lake on rain out and days off before memorial weekend and trying the new ties out. I left my poles and tackle at home because I thought I'd be working 7 days a week, boy was I wrong. Gives me an excuse to buy a new rod and reel

    You may be able to help your pictures some if you fist put them on your computer so you can use the software on your computer to adjust the Brightness and Contrast as that is the main ones to use. He I spent about $400 on my camera and now that I also use it to take a lot of pictures of birds makes me wish I had gone a little farther, but you can get a good enough camera for less than what I have for jigs! Heck the camera I had before this one was good enough for more jig pics and that camera now could be bought cheap on eBay or something like that. I do fine sometimes my picture come out better with a flash and sometimes better with no flash, but many time with a little adjusting there is not a lot of difference.

    I used to make and sell jewelry online. This is the photo system that worked great for me.
