Glad you enjoyed the pics Ethan and thanks for the offer !!!:)))
I think mag/book etc publishing is a ways off
The fly rides hook up, so tie your lighter color to be the bottom and your darker color to be the top.
Brown over orange is just about fatal on my local river for smallies.
funny thread, love the lady of guadaloupe trout shrine!
this hat is retired, but still resides on my dash.
Deadwood, SD, Sturgis weekend, August 2004 on our way to Alaska. The Milepost is on the dashboard. An Alaska Fly Shop hat is now on the same dashboard.
Ty John- after some more research and poking around I found this site-

Oh my my
Tim, there is so much useful information here.
How you feel is how I feel about my landscape photography. I am never able to capture completely what I feel and appreciate in most scenes. Only snippets of it. Mostly because I’m a click and run dude. I don’t usually have a tripod handy and the luxury of time for composition and slow shutter speeds.
However, I feel my portrait skills often pick up meaningful details in a photo I never saw when I took the picture. And I love eyes.
If you are unsatisfied with one type of photo try honing in on another within your reach. Portrait photos (closeups) in appealing natural light may be easier for you than wide angle scenes. Experiment with the direction of light as Ben noted and don’t be afraid of backlighting as well. You have to experiment and try those things you think will never work. You stumble upon good techniques that way.
I’m no photo genius nor professional, but I’ve been playing around with a camera for my own satisfaction since my folks stuck a Kodak Brownie Bullet in my hand at the age of six. I spent a lot time as a child in the Toledo Museum of Art looking at the very painting styles Ben noted. [Dutch miniatures were my favorite, Ben.] Lighting (photos=light, graphe=writing) is everything in photography. So be patient and take satisfaction in the pursuit.
As for techniques. I didn’t take journalism in high school, nor photography in college. But I later gained a father-in-law with a dark room setup and played with technique on my own. Everybody can do that now with digital. Last year I bought and read the text book Photography (London, Stone, Upton, 9th edition). Buy it or borrow it from the library/interlibrary loan. It will give you the technical info you need as well as inspire you with good examples.
Ty folks for the input –
John – I totally missed that your first post suggestion had a reversed 50 stacked up front- I was struggling to see where the extra mag was coming
Hi John
Yep I know the focus stacking route requires adjustments between captures – I guess I was wondering if folks have used the method – how many stacks are
Thanks Chad
Yep I do multiple views of the bugs. I don’t put them all up on my site or forums for the simple reason it seems wise to keep some stuff in reserve:)
