Cardinal at sunset

Posted By Ernest Hess
Let me start out by congradulating everybody for there
wonderful pics and thank you very much for sharing. You just
gotta love those digital SLRs. For the first time in two
weeks the clouds parted here so I thought I'd grab a few
pics after I got home from work.

The pic below was taken through my C8 from about 125 yards
and cropped.

Thanks again for sharing all the great pics.

Rufous-sided Towhee

Posted By Ernest Hess
What a name. These are not very good pics since I was at the limit
of my equipment. These two photos are at native rez and have
been cropped. This was the first time I had ever observed this bird
and was lucky enough to photograph it as well. The pics were taken
while hiking in the Shenandoah National Park. I also got to see a scarlet
tanger on that hike but couldn't get a good picture.

Enjoy

First light for TV76... Whitetails

Posted By Ernest Hess
Pictures were taken with a Nikon CP5700 coupled to a TV76 with a William Optics DCL-52 eyepiece. I was very impressed with the depth of field the TV gave... It's much better than my C8. Images were much crisper than the C8 as well(that is when I managed to hit focus ).

Thanks for looking,

Ernie
