What’s Up Just the usual. Gorgeous day after goregous day with fewer and fewer morning photo opps despite perfect sky conditions and southeast winds. And long afternoon swims. I finished editing Andrew McLachlan’s Focus on Frogs e-Book last week and am waiting for him to return the final edit. After mnay months of work, Joe […] What’s Up? Our second shipment of twenty FlexShooter Pro heads finally arrived late on Friday. We will be shipping to those who ordered by phone on Tuesday as Monday is a holiday. I will check out the new Nikon 600 VR Bigfoot on Tuesday and let you know what I have learned. We have been […] What’s Up? Things having been going downhill slowly since my recent great mornings down by the lake. This morning was poor despite the perfect weather and winds from the east. But I did learn something huge about my SONY a7R iii! And there is always tomorrow. The weather has actually been lovely here for more […] The FlexShooter Pro Video Click on the Play Arrow above to view this 17 1/2 minute instructional video. Click here for detailed written instructions on setting up and leveling the FlexShooter Pro, the ballhead that acts like a gimbal head only better. Click here to learn about shooting flight with the FlexShooter […] What’s Up To think that I almost decided not to go down to the lake on Monday morning … But then I thought, “The Ospreys have been active lately and the young in one nest are just about ready for their first flight.” So I went. Wow, what a morning. There were Osprey’s flying around […] What’s Up? The weather has finally turned gorgeous here at ILE. Friday morning down by the lake was so-so and after a slow start Saturday offered many excellent chances under clear skies with a developing east wind. With the Nikon 500 PF with a D850 on it, the 500 PF — the subject of today’s […] What’s Up? The weather here at ILE had continued clousy until it cleared late on Thursday afternoon. With the thrunder and lightning, I’ve been lucky in to get in my afternoon swims: a mile on Wednesday and 3/4 mile yesterday. It is early morning on Friday May 17, 2019 as I type. As the weather […] What’s Up? Before my (slow) mile swim yesterday afternoon, I created a 17-minute introductory FlexShooter Pro video on my I-Phone. I should be able to get it posted here on the blog in a day or two … 🙂 We’ve now sold five of the 20 FlexShooter Pro heads that we will be receiving […] What’s Up? The weather here has been clousy. On Monday I got in a late 70-length swim when the lightning and thunder finally quit. I have not been down to the lake in days … Clockwise from top left to center: breeding plumage Cattle Egret in flight, breeding plumage Cattle Egret head portrait, […] What’s Up? I woke very early on Sunday May 12 and met retired Boeing materials engineer Terry Tsuchiyama — visiting from Seattle, WA — for a morning of instruction at Gatorland. As on my last visit, I found fewer birds than in any year in recent memory. But again, the photography was very good to […] What’s Up? I have not been down to the lake since I got home from the last DeSoto IPT. I will be headed down this morning, Saturday, May 11, 2019 after I finish this blog post and have breakfast. I spent many hours yesterday working on our next two publications, Andrew McLachlan’s Frog Pond Adventures/A […] What’s Up? Back home and working hard. Swimming every day. If you have a moment, please check out yesterday’s blog post here and let us know which of the six featured images is your favorite and why? Only two folks left their opinions yesterday … The blog is designed to be interactive; the more folks […] What’s Up? The DeSoto Sandbar Secrets IPT was — though sparsely attended with only two participants — a huge success. The weather was just about perfect. And on our one morning with winds too much out of the west the clouds allowed for a great morning. I would have to dig very deep to remember […] What’s Up? Wow, I have so much to share and so many new and exciting images that I didn’t know where to start. So I chose a sharp image made at 400mm with the SONY gear at 1/8 second … Sorry, that is not a typo! . Read on to learn more. Multiple IPT veterans […] What’s Up? DeSoto was pretty good on Saturday morning. Anita North and I had lots of skimmer and terns along with a big flock of Red Knots. She was on the last DeSoto IPT but was not feeling well on the mega-afternoon that we had and came back for a second chance at the copulating […] What’s Up? Thanks to a post-Passover miracle, I was able to borrow a SONY a7R iii from B&H. It arrived on Thursday. I will be setting it up today — Friday May 3, 2019 — and using it at DeSoto. Will I love it? Time will tell. I am headed there today — two days […] What’s Up? I was so busy with the FlexShooter stuff yesterday that I never got down to the lake. But I did enjoy my 3/4 mile plus swim as the weather here continues to be lovely. It is 5:52am on Wednesday May 1, 2019 and I hope to be headed down to the lake at […] What’s Up? I had planned to head down to the lake early this morning but had so much work to do that I opted out despite the perfect weather and a gentle northeast breeze. Preparing this blog post took about six hours; writing good how-to is a painstaking exercise. If something below does not […] What’s Up? I swam a mile on Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday morning I went to Gatorland without a client :). There were few birds and fewer photographers but I did fantastically well. The other photographers spent their morning photographing 90 degrees off sun angle. I had my Nikon 600 VR with me and my […] Stuff With no takers for the Saturday Gatorland In-the-Field Session, I opted to sleep in. So I woke at 4:50am and continued working on this blog post; I had started it last night. Just after sunrise I went into Jim’s BAA butterfly garden to photograph some wildflowers with the Sigma APO Macro 150mm f/2.8 EX […] |
