    Thanks guys!  I really enjoyed being there, fall is one of my favorite seasons.  I’m still going through the photos, and put quite a few on a web page yesterday, mostly scenic shots and a few animals I encountered.  This weekend I hope to make a new fly fishing page with lots of Kokanee photos.

    BTW, I’m starting to get excited about next month’s 15 day trip to upstate NY!!!

    Couple more shots…

    Cool images John, very creative.  I’m very critical of my photography, and haven’t captured a single image yet that I study and say to myself, this photo is perfect.  There’s always something, dof, composition, shutter speed, subjects head angle, something missing, etc, that annoys me, but, this gives me fresh motivation and energy to keep trying to improve my skills.  I don’t delete all of my missed shots, I study the exif data, in an attempt to help find solutions.

    That said, outdoor photography is one of the greatest joys in my life.  I dearly look forward to getting away from my desks (fly tying and computer) to spend time alone in nature, on and off stream, enjoying the sights, sounds and smells, while clicking away.

    Gorgeous photos John and Douglas!!!  I agree with respect to needing filters to slow down the shutter speed, I was wondering about shots needing to control dynamic range.

    For example, the second shot I posted above, the trees above the horizon are darker than I would like, and I think I would have been better off merging two exposures in Photomatrix, to create a nice green frame around the subject.

    The shot below has the land above the water line darker than I would like.

    I would have prefered to not have the mountains tops on the left and right side darkened by the split grad in this shot.

    Hey Benny, I know we have talked about going out for a days shooting, for years, and haven’t done it.  We gotta do it!  I can go this week, anyday after Tuesday…

    I have some good bait for attracting dragonflies…

    Including fake houseflies

    And fake dragonflies.  The photos I’m posting here were taken back in 06, and my latest realistic orange dragonfly looks much better than this one…

    The wings on these critters are amazing
