Setting of the Moon

Posted By Tyler Allred
Taken early this morning, near Fairview, Utah. I just got a neutral density split filter, and this was my first attempt to use it. I think it will work great for sunsets.
Cheers,

Ring-necked Pheasant

Posted By Tyler Allred
Sorry about the quality of this shot, but it was the best I could do under the circumstances. Pheasants used to be everywhere here in Utah, but I rarely see one these days. This is one of the biggest roosters that I have ever seen.....very long tail feathers!
Cheers,
Tyler

Red-tailed Hawk - Sittin' on the wire

Posted By Tyler Allred
Sorry about the power pole shots, but that seems to be all I can find lately! Taken today, 10/15/03, near Heber City, Utah. For some reason, the raptors just love the poles in one area.....must be lots of rodents in the nearby fields.

Great Horned Owl

Posted By Tyler Allred
I managed to find two great horned owls at my jobsite last Wednesday. Here is a shot of the nervous one that kept flying away as I approached. Notice the white on the breast....

ID Help?

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi everyone,
I need a little ID help on this one. At first, I thought it was a bushtit, but the eye ring has me wondering. Could it perhaps be a ruby-crowned kinglet, or some type of Empidonax flycatcher? Let me know what you think. It was taken on Wednesday in Heber Valley, Utah (northern Utah).
Cheers,
Tyler

BTW - This was a very small bird!

Sparrow (species?)

Posted By Tyler Allred
Taken while at the Bruneau Sand Dunes on Friday morning. I have not changed the color in any way....the sky was really that blue! Anyone know what species this is?

Landscapes - Filter Experiments

Posted By Tyler Allred
I made another trip to central Utah on Sunday, and played around with some of my filters. I was trying to get a deep blue sky that was very dark. I used a circular polarizer with a neutral density split filter to get this shot. I really like the way the sky is dark with the light wispy clouds.
Cheers,

Clouds over Mt. Timpanogos at Sunset

Posted By Tyler Allred
The sunsets have been just unreal here of late. I'm not sure if it's the fires or something else, but it sure is beautiful! Here is a shot of Mount Timpanogos (looking east) at sunset. The photo is resized and sharpened only....no color manipulation at all. It really was that color, as was the rest of the sky. I wish I had been at Utah Lake that night, rather than at my home.
Cheers,
Tyler
