James,
Was that picture taken near DFW airport? Looks identical to one I saw near sunset. I live in Grapevine. -Kurt Horsley

Hey James,
There are times when you can use the autofocus of the camera, but usually you would lock the focus of the camera at infinity, and then focus with the telescope as you would with an eyepiece. Scopetronix has a lot of good adapters for that purpose. I recommend them. -Kurt Horsley

Wild Pig

Posted By Kurt Horsley
Wow! A new first for me. I could hardly believe I actually found some wild pigs while out in my favorite stomping ground. There were seven of them within an area of about 75 yards. They were so noisy grubbing in the mud that I was able to sneak up on them to a range of around 80 yards before being spotted.
Photo taken with the Panasonic DMC-FZ10 w/ 2X teleconvertor yeilding 24X optical. That's the same as 840mm handheld. Actually, I should have taken the convertor off for better picture quality since I managed to get so close, but I was looking for birds at the time. -Kurt Horsley

Distant Northern Flicker

I couldn't get close to this guy so I got the best shot I could. He was still over 100 yards away, which accounts for the poor image quality. I was surprised to see one at all this time of year.

Female Deer...

in a very peaceful setting.
I finally had time, and a good day, to do some photography with the new DMC-FZ10. There were quite a few deer out today, so here's a picture.

Re: Sunrise on Lake Whitney

Posted By Kurt Horsley
James,
That's a beautiful shot. Whitney, and opossum kingdom, are my favorites. Sure do miss them in winter, as I almost never go there when it's cold. Last time I went down below the dam to photograph, I was run out by security. Not accessable anymore since 9/11. That is a real shame. Great spot to kayak, but no more... -Kurt Horsley
