4 Shots From Today

[MARINERMAGNUM]

Did some riverbank fishing and cleanup in and along the river today. I brought along the camera,but only fired it about 6 times and kept these 4. I was experimenting on what metering mode to use when the light was constantly changing and moving around,shooting in shady/brightly lit woods. Spot metering with -1 1/3 ec seemed to work ok,so I left it set to that.

I will try to I.D. these items,but there is a strong possibility that I could be wrong.

Rosey Branch berries

Orange spotted leaf grubber

Yellow chested gnat nibbler

Buff Breasted Branch fisher

OK,so I may need some work on my I.D.s

Ahhh, MM, but your IDs showed so much imagination!

Nice work!

You had me going on the IDs until the third one. That one seemed a bit too corny. Nice shots. I especially like the clean bg and pose on the last one. Only 6 shots taken? It would have taken me 60 shots to come away with this many decent photos.

Thanks.

You know X,I was suprised that background turned out like it did. It was about 75 yards to the other side of the river,he was sitting on the wood,right above the water,and would swoop out over the river to catch bugs.

We also caught 4 Walleye,1 6 lb.Cat,and 1 Big Snapping Turtle.

My father hooked the snapper and was ever so nice to let me get it off for him. I grumbled a little,to which he replied "just lip him like a bass,that's how I used to do it"

I cut his line and said "maybe next time"

[MN Shutterbug]

Lip a snapper? Yeah, right. This, I'd like to see.

I really like that last shot MM. Nice job on the names

Hey, some great shots with that six pound racheted picture taker!

I like the catepillar the most because of the color contrast.

Also any pics of the Walleye?
