I just use my phone but I find I back it up and focus from further away it works better. Of course you have to be more stable then too.

Fill the frame. That way the camera will focus on the fly, rather than focusing on something either in the foreground or the background.

It looks to me like you're posting the photo as a file attachment. For me, once I upload the file, using the "insert" option then puts the photo directly in the text of the post

I use my IPhone for all of my photos of flies. Get a decent contrasting background (I generally use a neutral colored piece of craft paper), back off of the fly a bit, hold steady and tap the screen right on the fly to focus in on the fly, while holding steady snap the photo (that’s the challenging part for me). You can crop and edit it a bit in your photo gallery if needed before attaching it to your PAFF post.

I don't tie, but I know what a good tie looks like. All the guys here do a great job, but nfrechet's flies belong in a museum.
