digital camera question

Posted By Cal Sandfort

The camera should do nothing. It would be similar to using a manual focus lens, in this case the telescope.

Cormorant

Posted By Cal Sandfort

That's a better shot than any I have, Robert. I did not know this before but they have the most bizarre eyes of any animal I have seen.

Red-tailed Hawk - On Approach

Posted By Cal Sandfort

Tyler, I just got back to my computer after a few days absence. This is a cool shot! I like the flight shots that look like the bird is getting ready to do something rather than just going somewhere. This is actually a Swainson's Hawk. Dark crop and dark trailing edge on the wings give it away. Remember my goofy saying - band high swainsoni, band low red-tailo.

Nice shot - Cal

Great Egret

Posted By Cal Sandfort

Pretty shot, Robert. It looks like the white is a little hot but it's very difficult to expose white birds.

Nice job - Cal

Nice shots, Steve. I agree with Tyler, this shot is great but I like the color and and detail in the Blue Jay photo too.

Osprey with fish

Cool shot, Chris. It looks like a precarious place to have dinner.
