Underwater shots - Parrot Fish

Posted By Tyler Allred
I am going to post a few underwater shots that I took on the trip. Here is the first. I think it is a Parrot Fish swimming near some coral.

I used my D100 with the Nikkor 17-35mm 1:2.8 lens with the SB-800 flash, in an Ewa-Marine underwater soft housing. It worked pretty well, but I really needed to get closer than I did to most of the subjects.

Re: Salt Lake City Briding -- Where to go???

Posted By Tyler Allred
Gene,
Nearly all of my photos are taken within a half hour of Salt Lake City. One of the best places to go is Heber Valley, near Heber City, Utah. The eagles are still there. I would try the trails on the Provo River, just below Jordanelle Reservoir as a good starting place. It isn't prime time here, but I'm sure you can find some good stuff to view.

Another great spot is Farmington Bay, about 15 minutes north of Salt Lake. It has a great assortment of birds. If you have more time, the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is located near Brigham City, about 1 hour north of Salt Lake. It is a truly amazing place.

Happy Birding,
Tyler

I found a pair that is working on a nest. They swoop into a tree and try to break off a branch.....

Sandhills

Posted By Tyler Allred
I have been too busy for much photography lately, but I did stop by the roadside and take a few distance shots of these sandhills displaying.
Cheers,
