<p>Early morning dew on a "fox tail" (how they call them there)....appx 20 miles outside of Fairbanks, AK.</p><div></div>

<p>That's cool, congrats. I'd contact couple of (similar audience) entertainment companies near you and quiz them about specialty projects and what they'd pay. I mean from cooking, creating a painting, making an interesting item out of wood, band playing, etc. Once you have this broadcast /minute info, you could apply this to your estimate. At this point you'll be more informed what to expect...and you can negotiate and get their expectations, as well.</p> <p>Anyway, it's not about how long they'll spend with you, but a finished (edited) product that will be aired. This can be few minutes or 1/2 hr, etc. Good luck.</p> <p>Les</p> <p> </p>

<p>Not sure if this will help any, but try contacting Yale Lab or Spectra Film and Video in LA area. Perhaps someone there knows if anyone is still capable of developing 8mm chrome.</p> <p>Les<br> <em> </em><br> <em> </em><br> <em> </em><br> <em> </em></p>

<p>Hmmm, Durango, Mesa Verde, Black Cyn of Gunnison, Great Sand Dunes Natl Pk....and I can come up at least a dozen of places that you wouldn't have the time for. Well, that will get you started.</p> <p>Les</p>

<p>To me the 11x14 would be the total size (154) or smidgen smaller to bring it down to 150....and your print should be smaller, such as 8x10 or so. If your print is different than standard size (elongated or pano) then you may have to reconfigure the math.</p> <p>Les</p>

<p>Little beach scene that's reversed in pp.</p><div></div>

<p>In this case the young one is way more on the edge than her mama. Denali allows the animals to just be, and often the rangers have to enforce this. Sadly, some people insist on crowding the animal/s even if they are in immediate danger.</p><div></div>

<p>Well, perhaps the 300mm is not "true macro", but paired with an extension tube <strong>you can get really</strong> <strong>close</strong> and no one proved this better than (pls dial this on googly) **Ronnie Gaubert macro photography**. </p> <p>Sooo, I find Peter and Wouter's comments to be relative.</p> <p>Les<br> </p>

<p>Can't give you any leads (as to operators), but if you use the morning and pm/eve light creatively you should be able to get some really good shots. Unless it's insanely hazy in the canyon...it's pretty much one of those places where all you have to do is just point the camera. There are plenty spots along the rim where you can find visual beauty....and often it's about cloud formations and patience. That said, any custom tours/instructions will likely be costly.<br> Les</p>

<p>I'm just going to point to the obvious (not much of an advise)....the 100mm give you two functions, while the 85 only one. Good luck deciding.</p> <p>Les</p>

<p>I've been told that this is <em>russian sage</em>.</p><div></div>

<p>You can do stacking and combine the images together (several software available). <br> <p>Good lighting is critical (not talking about quantity of light)....so technique will play a v. large role. Also, I'd lock the miror to prevent vibrations and use remote trigger, whether a cable or radio-controlled. I used to use 33yr old Vivitar zoom, which can still be found for $25-75 and the macro on it was v. good....I'd say equal to newer lenses that cost 10X that price. <br> You can move the camera (slightly) or change the focus....and determine which one works better for you. Although you can do this with just about any DSLR, more expensive rigs will give you more resolution/DR/higher ISO's = giving more room to crop the photos. </p> <p>Les</p>
