I must get a proper set up for photographic flies in the house. The flash tends to overexpose a lot of the colour close up, there is a lot more silver in the front body that it appears.

There are no veilings in the original but the wee flash of fluorescent fairly stands out.

Similar to some of the others I know but it passes a winter evening and they will make a good Christmas present for my brother.

Nice flee

If it's a digital camera you should be able to switch off the flash

Nice fly BnC, really like the red veilings, adds a nice additional target point at the rear of the body.
