California Quail

Tyler,
I'm glad you posted it. It's an extremely beautiful bird. I'm also glad to see that even someone at your level of skill can still take a grainy picture once in awhile. I've taken more than a few myself. Your image is a perfect subject for "noise ninja" or one of the other grain reduction software programs. Do you ever bother to use them or do you just select a better image to work with? I've found them to work fairly well, but demand a lot of time and attention. -Kurt Horsley

Re: Fossils

Very cool fossils James. The first one, the ammonite, is an excellent find. It's good size, and in very good condition. But... I don't know about that Mars fossil though. LOL

I don't know Bryan. "Yes",the image is a little dark, but the size (image scale) looks fine to me. Sometimes...less is more. You've got good eye detail and feather detail. It's a fine shot. -Kurt Horsley

Wow...that's one of the best shots I've ever seen. Not just the exposure, but the composition too. -Kurt Horsley

The ospreys are back!

Posted By Kurt Horsley
Really great shots Tyler. I'm glad they're back, not to mention building a nest. I wonder if they're the same pair you photographed last year?
The teal is also excellent. You captured his colors nicely. -Kurt Horsley

Man...I wish I could get that kind of detail in my photos. -Kurt Horsley

Not sure?

Posted By Kurt Horsley
Nice shot Bryan. Great color. I think he's a young mourning dove, probably around two weeks old. More mature colors will be coming in a week or two, although he may remain small until summer. -Kurt Horsley

Yellow-headed Blackbird

Another nice shot Bryan. I'll bet that 10D and the TV76 make a nice rig. I've been using the D-30 with my ED80 and finding it also works well, on those rare occasions that the sun actually shines. -Kurt Horsley
