Thanks, Rick.
I do shoot RAW exclusively nowadays, but I don't have Lightroom. I do
all my editing with freeware applications and plugins -- pretty much
Picasa as an organizer and quick & dirty editor, IrfanView with a few
Photoshop plugins for noise reduction (which I almost NEVER use anymore,
but like to have) and some B/W conversions, and GIMP for saturation,
curves, contrast, etc. I haven't messed around with the luminance
channels, so that's something I need to dip my toe into, obviously.
I'm definitely not getting all that I can out of my photos that way, but
dollar-for-dollar, I'm getting reasonable bang for my buck on an
absurdly limited income. ;)

Walt,
For yellow daffys (and red tulips), I shoot RAW, and pull down the luminance of
the yellow (or red) channel in Lightroom. It is remarkable how much detail is
there when the channel appears to be blown out.

After hundreds of daffodil pics, tried for a bit of a different look here. Had
the DA* 60-250 mounted, so I used it. f11, IS) 400, 1/250th, 250 mm.

Paul, I don't know how you do it.
I have the hardest time trying to get a decent exposure on yellow daffodils.
What's the big secret?
