I was shooting for HDR, but they were all too saturated.

Nice shots Rich!
To throw another varible in the mix, if you use a flash you can really confuse matters also. For instance, I took a shot the other day in bulb mode with close to a 2 second exposure and was still able to catch an object in motion without any blur.
My camera can do 3, 5 or 7 exposures in a bracket. My strobes will work fine at 3, but won't recharge fast enough for 5 or 7 exposures.
My neighbours that never do anything to their yard happen to have Iris in front of their difficult to describe disaster. Nice Iris, though.

Nice Iris's... Very nice shot Rich!
John,
It has been overcast all day. I shot the purple Iris when it was starting to rain.
A couple HDR done in the shed.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Still raining. I have been making an illuminator for the shed. Well, a couple of one gallon cans with a light bulb. I made a background form a piece of plywood from an old palette. I had the palette to keep thing off the floor, but it was a better place for rats to hide. There was a rat crawling about and I took a shot. Must have scared it and haven't seen it since. I'll see how the lighting works. I wanted to light to just show down and not on the background.
I was doing some SM separation. Think I was working too hard. Took an easy approach and it worked much better. Not too many tracing fragments.

Hi Rich,
If you have an external flash/strobe. See if you can set it so it fires as a slave, or if you can remotely trigger it. then you can set it up on a cheap lightstand and use that in your shed. For what you are shooting, it should work just great! here is a link to much more information about what you can really do with a flash Lighting 101
The expense is not much really. You can probably get a very nice setup for under $300 and that is including the price for a second flash (always nice to have a fill flash)
Any questions just hollar.
BTW: wonmderful images... They are great!

John,
I have an off camera fixture for the flash unit. I have an old flash, but it doesn't have much capability. I am trying not to illuminate the background for separation of the image later.
