I was trying last night to take some digital pics of the flies I am tying to start a "catalog of flies that work and I actually use". However, I had huge difficulties with sharpnes, focus etc. I was using a Canon A710 and set it on the highest resolution settings and then cropped the pix to get a somewhat good close-up.

What cameras do you guys use and are there some tricks how to take good pictures?

Thanks, Karel
