Something Different

Posted By Tyler Allred

I took this photo of a meadowlark tonight, at dusk, with the D100/80-400mm VR combo, handheld at 400mm. I used my new SB-800 speedlight, and it really punches the light out there a good distance. My old SB50DX wouldn't begin to reach out for this bird. I thought the effect was pretty neat.
Happy Holidays,
Tyler

New Feeder w/Finch

Posted By Tyler Allred

I am desperate for something to photograph, so I just put up two feeders. So far they are only attracting a few birds, but I did manage to take a number of frames this afternoon. Here is my favorite.
Happy New Year,
Tyler

Dark-eyed Junco

This bird was in the tree beside my feeder. I couldn't get very close to it, or get a really good angle for a photo. This is the best I could do (1/4 original resolution).
Cheers,
Tyler

American Kestrel

Posted By Tyler Allred

I finally got a break from the snow today, and took the opportunity to make a photo field trip. I found this kestrel in a great dead tree, eating a bird (or what was left of it). You can see it's legs and feet weren't edible.
Cheers,

A break in the snow

Posted By Tyler Allred

The snow finally stopped and the sun came out... for a change. The snow on Mount Timpanogos was just breathtaking in the early evening light.

Perfect Light

Posted By Tyler Allred

As I was leaving Utah Lake, last night, I stopped to take a few frames of the mountains to the east. The light was off the peaks, but the atmosphere was still lit up. The color was amazing. I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers,

Wasatch Mountains Tonight

Posted By Tyler Allred

We had another amazing sunset tonight. But the best photo opportunities were had by looking to the east at sunset, when the light was still on the tips of the mountains. Here is my favorite frame of a large number that I took tonight.
