It's great to see pictures like this, because in Texas...it just ain't gonna happen. Beautiful shot with or without wildlife. -Kurt Horsley

A hidden pond - fall color

Posted By Kurt Horsley

What a great place for fall colors. I hope you get there again as the weather gets cooler. Living in the middle of a big city, any landscape or wildlife photography (or meaningful astronomy) almost certainly requires a roadtrip for me. -KH

Unbelievable color. Excellent. I love the colors in the leaves but still like that nice dark blue sky too. -KH

Bluebird

Nice shot Thorpe. You may consider reducing the size of the file for posting. That's a big picture. Those C-2100UZ cameras are amazing. -Kurt Horsley

Don,
There's a tension screw on the bottom of the focuser. Tighten it.

Martin,
It threads directly to the back of the optical tube, then you attach the visual back to it. -KH

Fox

Posted By Kurt Horsley

Thanks guys,
I've found the kayak to be the most powerful photographic tool since the camera itself. It allowed me to follow the fox in total silence and therefore get close enough to get a shot. It would never have happened if I were on the land. It's amazing how close you can get in the kayak. It's almost as if the animals are blind to it, as they often are to automobiles. Of course, getting a sharp shot that's in focus is difficult in a moving boat. -Kurt Horsley
