The Photo Gallery — Michael H. Myers

Hello, and thank you for visiting my World Wide Web site, online since 1995. I have many original photographs to share — portraits of birds, photos of birds in flight, the craters of the moon, photos of the planets, clouds, sunsets, and more. Please enjoy your visit; it's easy to find your way around.

These photos are special because a Spotting Scope used as a camera lens affords opportunities not possible with conventional telephoto lenses — and it can be quite affordable. Each photo displays a thumbnail you can click to view the larger image.

All images are free for your personal non-commercial use. Download, copy, alter, or share them any way you like. If you use them on your own web page, please add a credit and a link.
