Dragonfly

I didn't take time to key the species on this one, but they are everywhere around the Provo River wetlands.

Black-capped Chickadee

Posted By Tyler Allred

These can be pretty hard to photograph. Its not that they are hard to approach, but rather, they are hard to expose right. Usually, the eye is invisible in the black cap. This one could use a little more depth of field, however, I thought it turned out pretty good.

Black-headed Grosbeak

Posted By Tyler Allred

I wish I could get a decent photo of one of these, but I have had a pretty tough time. This one will have to do for now, until I can get one in a more pleasing setting.

Yellow Warbler Female

I found this bird's nest site just outside my office door, so I left the door open until I managed a shot. Boy these things are jumpy!

House Finch - Crop

Posted By Tyler Allred

Cropped at native resolution from a larger image. This 70-200mm VR is pretty sharp, even with the 1.4X teleconverter, which was used for this shot.

Yellow Warbler - Male

Posted By Tyler Allred

Taken today, with the 70-200mm VR and 1.4X teleconverter. I actually reduced the color saturation some on this one. Posted at 1/4 original resolution.

I thought I would post this and get some impressions. This sort of processing is a departure from the norm for me, but I think I like the result. What do you folks think?
Cheers,
