East Mountains at Sunset

I wish I had gone farther south to get closer to this spot. As it was, I had to use my VR.

Another one from my trip with my two youngest daughters. I was set up for landscapes, maybe a half hour before the sunset, when I saw this bird coming. I made a quick switch from the 28-70mm to the 80-400mm VR, and snapped four frames. Here is the best one. The light wasn't good enough to totally stop the action, but it didn't turn out too bad.
Cheers,
Tyler

Remote shutter release

Posted By Tyler Allred

I took a few minutes to play with my remote shutter release (ML-3) for the D100, today. I just set up the camera, with the 80-400mm VR, and pointed it at the thistle sock. Then, I went in the house and waited for the finches to come back. When they arrived, I was able to trip the shutter (by remote control) from inside the house. It worked pretty well, although the range is pretty limited. Here are a couple of shots. This one is an American Goldfinch...
