Glad to pick up some contributors on this thread. Hope some of you will be challenged to go out and take some photos of stuff close to you. Experiment. Hone those skills.
Here’s some more I took this week and today in the yard. Enjoy the Ozarks.
I love the color in these shots of black-eyed susans:
Notice the inchworm hanging of the petal.
And finally some true macro 1-2x lifesize:

An unknown bugConnor – there is a good explanation here of HDR process and Concept- with a Photoshop and alternatively Photomatrix, bit long, but in depth. –

I imagine some of the Photoshop process may apply to Elements, I don’t use Photoshop as an image editor so it’s just a quess.
The image you posted would certainly be a candidate for an HDR approach I think.
Interestingly there a bunch of ways to approach this- I bet Zach’s works great as well. A while ago Fuji tried to look at some of this extended dynamic range, in a limited way, with a sensor that had small receptors in addition to regular sensors, tuned to capture highlight data alone. I wonder how long it will be before we have sensors/in camera software
Damn I knew I should have brought fireworks and some boats with me last night:)
My first attempt at HDR I tried to stay subtlish/natural- 3 exposure +/normal/-
I can see this being handy for posed late evening FF’ing shots
Interesting how even though the water was different in each exposure there is very little or no ghosting I can see.

Ty Eric- I see where you are going here and agree your approach creates a lot more Depth and subject focus . I’ll have to play with this in mind:)

Hobby Lobby also carries some nylon coated stainless steel wire. Use the 17-pound test. Works great. Don’t know how it compares to price on the fishing wire.
Hey Mike:
I used their shirts when they were first introduced in the late 90s. At that time they were hot for southern climates and the year after they introduced a lighter material. I never tried it. Also, they did not offer a tall size, so the main problem was the sleeves were too short for me. They’ve been around a while now, so maybe they’ve addressed these issues. Their bellows pockets seemed overly large and got in the way when my hand would brush down and catch the opening of the pocket.
I use the Columbia Bahama nylon shirts now. If I’m concerned about color on high sun days, I’ll wear olive.
If you wade fish small streams or perhaps flats areas where stealth is important I can maybe see the advantage.
Ty for the input
Those images were done using the Tone Mapping function on a single Tif from Raw in Photomatix Pro without an HDR create step .
Your post deserves a response, so I’ll jump in. You’ve got to remember that you’re the boss, not the guide. Let him know from the get-go what’s expected. If he’s not cool with it, hire someone else. But it sounds to me as if this guy had an attitude that put you off. Let him know with the size of your tip how you feel about it. All arrangements regarding photography, etc., should be worked out in advance. Better luck next time.

Not sure if this helps, but, an alternate way of making popper/deer hair patterns with tubes that is really handy-
Mike:
The teleconverter is actual lens magnification through more pieces of glass. The FOV crop is simply a crop of the angle of view of the lens. So you are getting 450mm cropped 1.5x.
The angle of view I suppose would be the same as a 675mm, but the image will not contain as much information as a lens in that caliber. Anybody else have info or correction on this?
Check you warranty card. Canon warranty cards have “USA Only” as a watermark. Don’t know about Nikons.
Have fun with your new gear!
On a related note-
I,ve noticed that I’m doing more and more dodging/burning/masking looking for some added subtlties of late. Was curious how much post beyond levels/curves folks on the board are playing with?

Mike I was just being jealous:)) I don,t have water I can wet wade in for warmwater species without the the risk of contracting some exotic/nasty ailment:)
Zach I have to say- what I find incredibly interesting and provocative about what is going on here/on the site , is that you and others keep pushing with image compositions/looks. While many may not appear tomorrow in the mags , I suspect they will over time influence ,what will appear.
Where is RiverX- GPS please!!!!
