Re: Cloud hole

Posted By Tyler Allred

Excellent photo James! That is a very interesting formation. I took one a couple of days ago that was also pretty strange. It looks like a con trail that has looped around on itself, but it isn't. On the high resolution version, you can actually see the turbulence where the cloud trails cross. It must have been a very odd wind sheer to generate such a form. The highest peak is Mount Timpanogos.
Cheers,

Moose in the dogwoods

Posted By Tyler Allred

Yesterday, I found three moose feeding on the tips of the red-osier dogwoods in Provo Canyon. They were not in a very good spot for a photo, but I managed to get a couple of decent frames. Here is the best one.

Dogwoods and Provo River

Posted By Tyler Allred

I couldn't resist taking a few shots of the dogwoods. This particular patch was incredibly red, and seemed even more vibrant because everything else is brown or grey.

Nice photo James. I would puff up too if I had to stay out in the cold all day!

An old macro shot

Posted By Tyler Allred

Since there is almost nothing to photograph, right now, I decided to dip back into the old stash. This one was taken with my 200mm Micro Nikkor 1:4. It is cropped and resized to 1/4 original resolution (1/2 vertical and 1/2 horizontal).
Cheers,
Tyler

Magpie

I'm desperate! There really isn't much to shoot lately. But, this magpie posed for a few seconds.

It looks like it just sprung up from nowhere.....and lifted the sand in the process. Neat stuff James.

Bryan and James

Posted By Tyler Allred

I finally took time to photograph my digiscoping setup tonight.... sorry about the delay Bryan.

Let me start by saying that I am no expert at digiscoping, but I occasionally get some really good results with the following setup (see photo):

Nikon Coolpix 4300 with optional extension tube
LensPlus 2Plus LE adapter http://www.lensadapter.com/products.htm
Swarovski ATS65 with either the stock 20-60x or the widefield 30x eyepiece

The photo shows all of the pieces before assembly....
