Great postures from these birds. I hope you can get a clean scan from that slide... I would love to see it!

Mule Deer Portrait

Posted By Tyler Allred

I had to put in a few hours today on a small project on a spring creek that dumps into the Provo River. At dusk, several deer appeared in the meadow right next to where we were working. I quickly set up the Swarovski and attached the little Nikon, and took several photos. Most of them were fuzzy because he wouldn't hold still, but this one was pretty sharp. He actually jumped that fence while I was watching. In the next photo, he is on the other side of the fence.

A bigger muley buck

Posted By Tyler Allred

This is a much bigger buck, but he was about 400 yards out, and it was snowing a little, so the image is not really clear. I thought it was worth posting anyway, since he is so big. Notice his body size in comparison to the deer standing next to him.

Crappy Bird Photo

Posted By Tyler Allred

I don't think I ever posted this....if I did, then I am sorry to make you see it twice smile I snapped this through the window of my car, thus, the terrible quality. But, I was glad that I had the camera sitting on the seat. It was one of the largest flocks that I have ever seen.

Steller's Jay

Posted By Tyler Allred

While taking mule deer photos, I ran across this Steller's Jay. It was kind enough to let me snap a few frames.

Reclusive Muley Buck

Posted By Tyler Allred

As usual, the does are out in the open, and the buck is hanging back in the trees. This was a pretty nice buck. Taken today, 11/17/03, in Provo Canyon, Utah.

Sunrise in Heber Valley

Posted By Tyler Allred

This was taken this morning, 11/20/03, in Heber Valley. The sun was not yet up, but the light was just amazing....some of the best that I have ever seen. I wish I could have captured it better, but this was the best that I could do. This photo was taken from the middle of the valley, looking west: away from the rising sun. The texture in these clouds was wonderful, but the best color only lasted a few minutes. I didn't have time to move to a position where I could get anything into the foreground except the pasture. I hope you all enjoy this photo... it was a special moment for me.
Cheers,
Tyler
