Butterfly

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I have been away from this forum for too long. It was good to come back and take a look around. The images have been great.... but there are too many to comment on individually. Nice work everyone, and thanks for sharing.

Here is one I took on a recent birding trip.
Cheers,
Tyler

The longer I stare at this image, the more amazed I am. 8O I just can't believe the incredible amount of detail that you have captured in this image. It is beyond words! Thanks Damian.

This was taken tonight, at dusk, at the feeder on my back porch. I used my D100 with the 70-200mm VR Nikkor lens, a TC-14EII 1.4X teleconverter, and an SB-800 flash.

Here is the exposure info:
Focal Length 280mm
1/60th sec @ F/7.1
ISO 800

M13 with Ultima 2000

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is a Luminance-only shot from Saturday night. I decided to try the Celestron Ultima (8" SCT) at F/10, just to see what it could do. Here is the result (at 1/2 original resolution). I will try to get some color data in the next few weeks...... if we ever get another clear night!
Cheers,

Bobolink

Hi all. Here is a rare bird in Utah.... a Bobolink. This is an unusual view, from the back. The breast is very dark.
Cheers,
Tyler

BTW - These have an amazing song!

Bumblebee with Pollen

Posted By Tyler Allred

Here is one from my front yard. This bee was HUGE!! It would disappear into the peonies, and then reappear covered with pollen. It almost acted drunk sometimes. It was quite amusing.

Great-horned Owl

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is a parent to the young GH owl that I posted a few days ago. It was pretty relaxed, and let me get pretty close, but the branches were thick. I finally found a gap that was big enough for a shot.
Cheers,
Tyler
