To all you folks with new equipment

Posted By Tyler Allred
Please stop buying new equipment! You are making me jealous. And, I am worried about your future relationships with your wives, significant others, etc.

PS - All the photos look great! You lucky dogs!!!

I am showing fiscal restraint! I am saving my money... I'm leaving on the 13th for 11 days of photography, snorkeling, birding, and bonefishing on Andros Island (Bahamas) smile smile smile I'm all smiles!

Ring Necked Pheasant

Posted By Tyler Allred
I finally got a few minutes to take photos tonight.... it has been a long time since I had even a few minutes! Anyway, I stumbled across this pheasant, and took a series of shots out the truck window, with the D100/Celestron 5 combo, handeld, but supported against the window of the truck. The light was pretty and red, but not very bright. Most of the shots didn't turn out very good, but this one was OK. Here are the particulars:

Exposure time: 1/500
F-stop: 10
Focal length: 1250mm
Focal length (35mm): approx. 2000mm

Cheers,
Tyler

California Quail

Posted By Tyler Allred
This really isn't a very good photo, but the bird is so beautiful I decided to post it anyway. It was taken in near darkness, with the SB-800 flash on the D100/80-400mm VR combo. I had the camera set wrong, and the image came out pretty dark. I tried to rescue it a little..... here is the result.
Cheers,

Bald Eagle in Flight

Posted By Tyler Allred
I have been so busy lately that I really haven't had time for much photography, but yesterday, I was out doing design work and took the camera along. I saw many bald eagles but most were not close enough for decent photos. This one however, flew by and I managed a burst of photos. Here is my favorite frame of the bunch. This image was cropped and posted at 1/4 original resolution.
Cheers,
Tyler

Barrow's Goldeneye

Posted By Tyler Allred
This is not a great photo, but it is a rare sighting for my area, so I thought I would post it anyway.

I have been enjoying all the great postings of the last couple of weeks. The photos are really great, but there are way to many to comment on individually, so here is my blanket response.... GREAT STUFF ALL!!!!

This was taken on South Andros Island with the 80-400mm VR and Nikon D100. The bird was very calm.

Bahama Island Rock Iguana

Posted By Tyler Allred
This is the largest specimen ever recorded for this incredible and endangered species. He is nicknamed "King" by the locals. The scientists estimate his age at nearly 50 years. He is probably between four and five feet long and I would estimate his weight at 40-50 pounds (a guess). They told us that he has lost a lot of weight for the breeding season, but you wouldn't know it to look at him. He is a huge iguana.

Yellow-crowned Night Heron - Portrait

Posted By Tyler Allred
This shot really reminds me of a toothless old woman. Taken on South Andros Island, with the 80-400mm VR.
