St. Simon –
You might be getting as good a product, in some cases, but what you are sacrificing is resale value.
They’ll destroy gray over white clouser minnows when they are running (usually right behind the female whites).
You’ll be near Pray and the big Yellowstone, of course. We camped at Mammoth Hot Springs, just through the North Gate from Gardiner, and it was spectacular.
Hey that makes a certain amount of sense – swiss straw is sometimes used as shellback and easter packing material.
I’ve seen scud flies that are pink and orange, although I have yet to actually see a scud that color.
Hey GS –
I responded in the other thread but just for posterity: per Thom Hogan, it isn’t possible with the remote. You can get someone to stand there and push the trigger, but you can’t do it alone.

Hey GS –
From talking to my editor. I’ve sold them quite a few pictures and I know where I am on this. I need to be able to scan slides in advance to send in *electronic* proofs – it is much faster and most submissions are being handled this way now. Fly Fisherman had me upload my images via FTP, but American Angler and The Drake accepted them via email as well.
Most major magazines want 300 dpi. Multiple 300 dpi by the 17″ by 11″ double truck print size and then divide the results by a million and you have your megapixel count. 16.4 or something is the requirement for an out-of-camera 300 dpi print. Now they don’t actually print in 300dpi (they only need 266) but they still want to see the images in that size to be able to crop as needed.
All of this is actually moot, I’ve talked about it extensively with a couple editors now and a D200 will get the double truck job done – they can enlarge these images enough to satisfy them. The 300dpi thing, like the RAW requirement, is really only in place to discourage mass submissions by amateurs. (My John Wilson shot that ran full-page in this month’s American Angler is a D70 JPEG.)
Also, continuous bursts with the D70 are not, alas, possible.

In September we are expecting the Nikond D50 to drop into the sub $500 range with a kit lens (which is pretty good).
