wildlightphoto Posted June 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 15, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yesterday I visited the Sierra Nevada north of Truckee California; after about a mile along a washboarded gravel road I found a meadow filled to overflowing with wild mountain light and the promise of a drenching. At the meadow's edge a pair of Mountain Bluebirds was converting invertebrates into the next crop of blue bug-eaters: technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt-R, UET-R extension tube, shoulder stock and monopod. The second photo is cropped significantly. All comments welcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildlightphoto Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted June 16, 2009 Thanks all for your comments. I want to mention that the lens I used for these photos and for the White-faced Ibis posted a couple of days ago was given to me in poor condition. I removed the camo tape and tape residue, had DAG re-lube & repair the focus but it still has scratches and pits in the glass. Basically it was unmarketable. I guess my point is that one need not spend $thousand$ on a lens to make bird photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
