Bald Eagle Pics

Posted By Tyler Allred

This bald eagle just showed up in Heber Valley a few days ago. I have been trying to get a photo, without success, until yesterday, when I managed to get within range. Here is the first of three shots...

Light and shadow on the snow

Posted By Tyler Allred

I snapped this today in a spot where the snow had an odd surface texture.

Midday Ice

Posted By Tyler Allred

I took this just before lunch today. It was a pretty, sunny, day.....but it wasn't all that warm. This ice was really lit up, and I thought it looked beautiful.

Sorry about this one...

Posted By Tyler Allred

I couldn't resist taking a shot of this walleye (I think) that has seen better days. It was laying on the shore of Utah Lake, and my macro was calling to me.

Belted Kingfisher

Posted By Tyler Allred

I just can't get a good photo of a kingfisher. Every time I get close....they fly. I took this one last week with the 80-400mm VR and a TC-201 2X teleconverter. The converter requires manual focus, which is pretty hard to get right while hand-holding the lens at 800mm (1200mm effective). This photo isn't great but the bird was so colorful that I thought I would post it anyway. I haven't noticed the orange color blotches in the blue breast stripe on any other kingfisher that I have photographed in the past.

Deer Creek Res. Panorama

Posted By Tyler Allred

Taken this morning, just as the light was hitting the clouds and the tops of the distant mountains. This is a composite of five frames.....greatly reduced for this forum.
