The new Environmentalist at the wetlands area was not pleased when she found out that this flower was a non-native and was invasive. But I brightened her day when I told her it would take her 40 years to eradicate it all. So she had her dream job for life.

I very much like image #1. What magnification?
Image #2 & #3 demonstrate blocked-up highlights. Histogram of image #2 is against left side; histogram of image #3 is well left from center.

The first is 1:1 with no crop. I agree on the blocked highlights, I will have to figure something else out, the flowers are highly reflective. I have not been able to get a decent picture out of my underexposed shots.I very much like image #1. What magnification?

Are you processing JPGs or raw captures (which have a much wider dynamic range)?I agree on the blocked highlights, I will have to figure something else out, the flowers are highly reflective. I have not been able to get a decent picture out of my underexposed shots.

I use raw. The underexposed shots were taken from a distance and didn't crop well. I could bring them to the correct exposure but the focus wan't there. I hope to go back before they fade. I don't know these flowers but I have at least 6 weeks before the first frost.

What is your illumination source? One characteristic of diffused speedlight in the field is extended contrast, allowing more detail in highlights and shadows.I use raw. The underexposed shots were taken from a distance and didn't crop well.

I use a Neewer 850 with a 6x8 diffuser on my modified bracket from above the lens. It was set at 1/4 power which I thought would do it. I only got 2 shots at this distance so no chance to adjust the settings. I am going to have to continue to shoot macro while working on my other photographic interests or I will lose even more of the skills I had developed.
