Greatest Hits (or Luckiest Hits)

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello everyone. I thought it might be fun to start a thread where everyone posts their favorite bird shots...... call it a "greatest hits (or luckiest hits)" thread. Here is my first contribution. This photo is of a young Osprey (note the red eye) about to land. It is one of those "miracle" flight shots where everything works out. I love it when that happens. grin

Please add a few of your favorites to this thread.

Merry Christmas to All!!

M-42 on Christmas Night

Posted By Tyler Allred
I was anxious to try the new adapter to mount my camera and lens to the Ultima 2000. Even though the moon was full I took a few frames. Here is the best one. It was taken with a D100 using a 70-200mm VR lens (with VR turned off) at 200mm. It was a 30 second exposure at f/2.8. Processed in Photoshop CS and NeatImage. I turned up the blue to show a glimpse of the running man.
Cheers,
Tyler

M-42 and Satellite

Posted By Tyler Allred
I was playing with some m-42 images that I took a few nights ago and noticed that I had caught a satellite (I guess?) in the image. This is a stack of four frames, each 30 seconds long, with a break between frames for the camera to do a noise reduction routine. Notice the four lines in the lower portion of the screen. The movement was from right to left. I know the processing is bad... that is because I was trying to show the satellite, not the nebula.

I'm sure this happens all the time to experienced imagers, and probably makes them mad, but for me it was fun to find.

Cheers,
Tyler

Latest Saturn from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello all you lunatics! wink I just processed this avi tonight, and I thought it turned out pretty good. I even caught a little of the C ring. This was taken with a Celestron Ultima 2000 (8") SCT and is a stack of 1288 frames using Registax 3. Comments or suggestions are always appreciated.
Cheers and Clear Skies,
Tyler

I have not had time for many photos of late, but here is one I snapped yesterday at work. It was a very gray day.

Red-tailed Hawk in Flight

Posted By Tyler Allred
I got a lucky frame on this one. Same setup as the eagle photo, but a much nicer result. This one is posted at 1/4 original resolution.... the original is very nice.

GB Heron

Taken at my jobsite in Heber City, Utah. The flat light and snow make good photos pretty tough.

Bald Eagle

Posted By Tyler Allred
This is probably the same bird that was in my recent posting.... it may even be on the same branch! But, I like this shot better.
