Nice TR Warren, I wish I was going to be able to connect with you this
weekend.
Looking at the pictures, which are great, brings to mind a tip you
might try. If you
have a built in flash, pop it up for those shots of people on bright
days and you'll be
amazed at how well it fills in the faces.

The flash always goes off. The problem is that it doesn't show with
the wide angle lens because the lens covers the flash. What I need
to do is take off the wide angle lens more often. Being such a
small lens, I rarely do that because I am afraid of dropping it or
losing it. Thanks for the tip though. It is further proof that I
shouldn't be as lazy and/or scared of taking off the lens. :-(

BTW, I am glad you guys enjoyed the TR and pics. I really enjoy
sharing them with you because it causes me to really analyze the day
instead of just mucking through it. I find myself taking pics and
enjoying the scenery more than just concentrating on the water and
fish. Sometimes just stopping and looking around is a wonderful
thing because I notice something beautiful that I have probably
missed 1,000 times before. When rowing, I concentrate on the water
up ahead and while fishing I concentrate on the water I am trying to
fish. Looking at it from the perspective of a potential TR causes
me to pause now and then look for a picture, which causes me to just
look at the scenery that I so often take for granted. It has
brought me a new appreciation for the area I live in and the beauty
that surrounds me. I just wish that I had the tongue of Wayno,
Jeffie or Wolfgang to put these feelings and appreciation into
words.

Unfortunately the TR may have been my last for awhile. After this
weekend, my fishing time may be drastically reduced. I'll be
working days full time and nights part time in an effort to afford
the new "toy" I am buying. It really isn't a toy, but a necessity
for the business I am trying to get going this year.
