remote release

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Mark,

A lot of camera manufacturers now make these releases standard for their professional cameras and prosumer cameras. Canon and Nikon do, for example.

Sky 90 II - Going deep!

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Nice shot, Chris! Awesome guiding and great focus, too.

I did something similar with my FS-60C last year, but I didn't check to see how deep I had gone.

Ruddy Duck

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Great shot of my favorite duck. I like their squatty little bodies and the blue bill.

Grebes

Great shots. I would love to add the Clark's to my life list some day. Looks like I need a montane western US birding trip....

I think these are related to the aphids...

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Those are "true bugs" in the family Hemiptera, not related to the aphids. Pretty neat, nonetheless.

Long-billed Curlew

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Nice shot, Cal. Yet another montane western bird I need to add to my lifelist....I love the color in this shot and the lines of the bird.

Sounds like some nice toys! I have a 2x TC on the way. How do you like yours?

Wilson's Phalarope

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Wonderful shot, Cal. It's been years since I have seen a phalarope. Shorebird migration is not quite the same here in WI as it was on the east coast, and there aren't many that nest in WI, either.
