Your Call
In today’s post, I share one of my favorite images from each of our first four days of the first 2025 Homer IPT. All were made with the incredible Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM/a-i ii combo. I have yet to even think about adding a teleconverter. I had twenty favorites from Day 2 🙂 […]

Thanks to the many who left comments at The Sony 400mm f/2.8 GM Lens & DeSoto’s North Beach blog post here. Several folks liked the scratching GBH best, but the practically monotoned Snowy Plover image, […]

What’s Up?
Friday was ducks all day. On Saturday morning at La Jolla Bob Eastman and I created some predawn blurs. Then we spent some time at Children’s Pool working the Harbor Seals. Two had newborn pups. Last we worked the gulls by The Green Patch and some cooperative shorebirds at The Crevice: a handsome […]

What’s Up?
Multiple IPT veteran Vasili Chernishof is learning a ton. And he is also shooting a ton. Yesterday I cherry picked 211 of his very best images from three flash cards (two 1TB and one 2TB) that held more than 40,000 images. Yes, 40 thousand. He surely needs to learn to be more selective. […]
What’s Up?
On Tuesday past, our first morning with multiple IPT veteran Vasili Chrnishoff, there were few pelicans on the main cliff but we did well with them in flight near the bridge club. With the tripod-mounted 600mm f/4 GM lens/1.4X TC/a-i ii combination, I made my favorite/best-ever flight image of a stunning breeding plumage […]

Good morning Artie,
A huge thank you for an outstanding IPT. I […]
What’s Up?
The recent dearth of pelicans has not stopped Bob and me from making some great images every day. On Friday morning, we met recently retired San Diego PD Detective Sergeant Juan Gonzales early at La Jolla. Juan is looking to get into and improve as a bird photographer. He showed up with Nikon […]
What’s Up?
We finally struck gold with the pelicans on Wednesday morning with many dozens of them flying in and landing right below us. No matter, the Extended 2025 San Diego IPT is winding down. Multiple IPT veteran Judy Stepenaskie had to leave a day early so say goodbye to her beloved cat. New friend […]
What’s Up?
The San Diego IPT is turning into a love fest. Everyone is getting along great and everyone is learning a ton. On Monday, there were zero pelicans on the main cliff. We started off doing Western Gull pink/purple sky setting full moon-scapes. Then lots of California Sealions, Black Oystercatchers, and finally, some decent […]
