Hello UHH members,

I have a Sony Kit starter for sale for someone new to the Sony world. The kit consist of two cameras. I decided to go back to Canon.

1) The legendary Sony A6000 with 3 batteries and the kit 16-50. The total shutter count is 27568. I bought the camera from a professional camera man with 20k already. The camera is an excellent shape with no damage.

2) The Sony A mount A350 DSLR looks new. It came with the Sigma 150-500 lens, and I only used it for a few days. I modified a screen glass from the A6000, but the cover is too brittle and it cracked. The screen is not damaged. This camera will come with the Old new stock Kalimar A mount 1.3.5 5.6 28-200mm.

3) The following lenses will also be added to the kit for Sony E mount.
Sears 1:2.8 F135mm with the PR-Nex adapter
Tou - five start MC auto MACR 200m 1:45 75-200 with the OM-Nex adapter

4) Extra adapters for the sony e mount.
KF concept adapter FD-Nex
KF concept adapter MD-Nex
Fotasy Nat2 T2T

5) The Sigma 70-300 F4 5.6 APO DG MACRO A mount.

6) Sony translucent adapter for A mount to e mount body LA-EA2.

7) Hard case for the Sony A6000 goes really good with the kit lens.

8) 2 teleconverters
Kalimar 1.4x M A/F
Vivitar 2x auto focus multi coated 4 element M A/F

Everything works perfectly. the price for all of these including shipping and insurance is $650.00 US postal money order, check or PayPal. Remember the check has to clear before the kit can be shipped. The shipping alone will be close to $40.00 dollars. everything will come in 1 box.

How much do you want for the Sony A350 and adapter A to E mount LAEA2 ? Only these two items. I do not want any other items. Let me know if you will sell these two only.

Few recent Eagles from my area


Excellent captures. Well done. What equipment did you use to capture these Eagles in flight ? Thanks

These are two puffin photos that I took on Mykines, one of the Faroe Islands. It was a fairly steep climb to get to the ridge where the puffins hang out but once there it was puffin heaven.


Excellent ! Puffins are on my list of birds to photograph. Don't know if I ever will in my life time visit Faroe islands. I have seen some beautiful images of the remote islands. Thanks for posting.

This was at Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Eagles come to this spot every winter.


Thank you pmsc70d.

I find these birds to be very challenging to photograph. I have been able to get decent photos of them feeding or perched, but a good in flight shot is yet to be taken by me.

Canon R6, RF100-500mm + 1.4 X. 700mm
1/800, F-10 ISO 6400


I have the R5 / RF 100-500 and photos of static birds are fantastic. But for birds in flight, it has always been a hit or miss.

but it's not likely I will ever get a sequence like this again. So I wanted to share anyway. Hope you enjoy them.


Great capture , nice sequence. Where was this ? I want to go to Conowingo Dam in Maryland to photograph the eagles. I have been reading there is usually a congregation of eagles during this time of the year. Thanks

Well done joehel2. The colors on the aurora are amazing. We were in Iceland in mid October a couple of years ago and went aurora hunting for 2 days with no luck seeing it because of cloud cover. Weather plays spoil sport a lot of times. You were lucky that it was a clear skies while you shot this aurora. Thanks for posting.

Arches National Park

EOS 1v - Ilford Delta 100

Arches National Park - Dec 2015 by Paul Sager, on Flickr

Arches National Park has the densest concentration of natural stone arches in the world. There are over 2,000 documented arches in the park, ranging from sliver-thin cracks to spans greater than 300 feet. None of these images show the famed arches of the park's name. Rather, these images feature the isolated sandstone monoliths around Courthouse Towers between the park entrance and the Balanced Rock.

Sandstone is made of grains of sand cemented together by minerals, but not all sandstone is the same. The most dominant rock layers at Arches date to the Jurassic period, about 144- to 208-million years in age. The story of Arches National Park began in earnest roughly 65 million years ago when geologic forces began to wrinkle and fold the buried sandstone, then located thousands of feet below a dry sea bed that covered the entire area.

As the sandstone warped, fractures tore through it, establishing the patterns for rock sculptures of the future. Next, the entire region began to rise, climbing from sea level to thousands of feet in elevation. The forces of erosion carved layer after layer of rock away. Once exposed, deeply buried sandstone layers rebounded and expanded, like a sponge expands after it's squeezed. This created even more fractures, each one a pathway for water to seep into the rock and further break it down.

Images shared in this post are scanned negatives from Ilford Delta 100 and a variety of Canon EF lenses mounted to an EOS 1v. The JPEG files were processed more in Adobe Lightroom v6. I recently performed an audit of my film scans and discovered this roll had never been processed. Although the camera, film type and shooting date are known, I don't have the lens and exposure data, lost in the sands of time.

Balanced Rock, in distance on left side, below, is a massive sandstone boulder perched atop a pedestal and estimated to weigh 3,577 tons. That's the weight of an icebreaker ship or approximately 27 blue whales.

Today, water shapes this environment more than any other force. Rain erodes the rock and carries sediment down washes and canyons to the Colorado River.

The B&W brings out the fine details in the images. Another fine set Paul. Thanks for sharing.

Fred, nice work!

Venkatesh, from the original RAW, you can probably recover even more detail in the white feathers than this re-processed JPEG.

Yes i am going to try to recover as much details from the RAW. Thank you

Here's a quick PProc on the second photo of the snowy, to bring out more detail in the very white facial feathers and to give a bit more contrast overall. Also cropped to 14 x 8 @ 300 ppi to emphasize the bird and grasses.

A 14 x 8 ratio gives almost a HDTV ratio,similar to the 16 x 9 suggestion earlier, a better fit to most screens.

Others may prefer a different PProc effort.

Do you shoot raw and/or PProcess?


Wow ! that really has brought out the details and contrast is much improved. I like it. Thank you very much Fred. I will try PProcessing the raw file.

A great catch, for sure. We've had but one in many years in southwest Mass.

May I suggest further processing? I can post an example, if you would permit.


Thank you Fred. Feel free please go ahead with post process most welcome.

Nice find! Consider a 16:9 crop to put more focus on the bird and less open space in the unfocused sand. The narrow landscape crop brings the bird 'closer' to the viewer too.


Thank you Paul. Good suggestion. I will definitely do a 16:9 crop.

Yesterday morning went on my photo expedition. Lucky to find this snowy on the sand dunes near the coastline. Half the time the snowy sleeps and the moment it opens its yellow eyes, the owl paparrazi (including me) shoots away a million clicks ! All pictures handheld, 2nd and 3rd pictures were cropped.

Location: Sandy Point State Reservation, Ipswich, MA.
