Your Fave? Which of today’s two featured images is your favorite? All are invited to leave a comment and let us know why they made their choice. What’s Up? Photography on the 2nd Homer/Kachemak Bay Bald Eagle continues to be excellent. On Tuesday afternoon, we got to photograph in a heavy snow squall. It has […] What’s Up? Saturday past, the first morning of the 2nd Homer/Kachemak Bay IPT, began with some frost, but quickly turned into another sunny summer’s day with a high of 41°! The photography was excellent. The afternoon was not great, but we all got some nice head portraits of a large, block-headed female Bald Eagle. Sunday […] What’s Up? On Friday morning I met the group in the hotel restaurant just before 8:00am. The forecast was grim: rain with east winds at 21 gusting to 35mph. Looking out the large picture windows did not offer much hope. Except to me. The group met me with a unanimous “We are not going out […] What’s Up? Bald Eagle photography for the first three days of the Homer/Kachemak Bay IPT was non-stop spectacular. Day four, Wednesday 23 February was so-so. We had no wind and with the continuing warm weather, the birds were not very hungry. Anita North is leaving a day early (today) to get back to Canada. On […] Your Favorite? Which of the three very similar flight poses do you like best? All are invited to leave a comment letting us know why they made their choice. Ambitious folks may wish to put them in order with their favorite first and the weakest of the three images last. What’s Up? The morning […] What’s Up? The first day of the first Homer/Kachemak Bay IPT exceeded everyone’s expectations. By far. We enjoyed non-stop flight action for the whole day. It has been insanely warm with temps in the high thirties reaching into the low forties and that pattern is supposed to continue for the remainder of my visit. On […] What’s Up? Anita North, BPN friend and early IPT arrival Kevin Hice, and I had a great day on Saturday photographing eagles from the work boat. We had very low light early (ISO 6400 at f/2.8!) and then bright sun in the morning, and slightly overcast conditions in the afternoon. Today is Sunday 20 […] What’s Up? Friday, our second day of doing the songbird setup, was rain-free but colder with a brisk southwest wind. Can you say wind chill factor? The action was a bit slower than it was on Thursday, and it was difficult working with the constantly changing light with some perches in the sun and some […] What’s Up? On Thursday, Anita North and I spent about six hours at a feeder set-up in Anchor Point, AK photographing Pine Grosbeak, Boreal Chickadee, Common Redpoll, and Red-breasted Nuthatch. It was cloudy all day with rain showers off and on. We ended up very wet, but we had a ton of fun and made […] What’s Up? Anita North and I — Anita did the bulk of the driving — pulled into Land’s End Resort at about 4:00pm on Wednesday after leaving Anchorage at about 10:00am. There was about 8 inches of fresh snow overnight in Anchorage, that followed by lots of slush, some rain, some sun with blue skies, […] What’s Up After waking at 2:50am Florida time on Tuesday, I got into Anchorage 20 minutes “late” at 3:50pm (Alaska time). Considering that door to door was about 18 hours, things went quite well. I grabbed my rental vehicle and headed to the nearby Lakefront Anchorage for an expectedly fitful night’s sleep. I got to […] What’s Up? Jim and I, very, very early. We left for Orlando Airport at 3:29am for my 7:15am flight to Seattle. I have a perfect just-under two-hour layover and am scheduled to arrive in Anchorage at 3:15pm local time. I will be staying the night and driving down to Homer on Wednesday. Folks who […] How Many Spoonbills? Quiz How many spoonbills do you see in today’s featured image, Image #1A? What’s Up? I forgot to mention that like today’s featured image, both of the Royal Tern images featured in yesterday’s blog post were among the 135,000+ recovered images 🙂 It rained all morning on Sunday and I opted […] Wanted to Buy If you have a Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM with Extender 1.4x lens in excellent or better condition sitting on a shelf gathering dust and would like to unload it for a fair price, please contact me via e-mail.

Please leave a comment and let us know why you made your choice. What’s Up? On Friday morning I made a few nice images of the young eagle in the nest getting fed. I was thrilled to learn that six of […] This Just In! 2:13pm Thanks to kind, knowledgeable, and helpful readers all of the computer problems below no longer exist. What’s Up? I enjoyed a nice Thursday morning photographing at Lakeland with friends. See the A Strange Morning at Lakeland item below. Also, below, I need some help with Photoshop on the new MacBook […] What’s Up? After seven failed attempts due to our slower-than-a-snail WiFi, I finally downloaded and installed Word and Excel for Mac on the new machine. The rest of the day went smoothly: Photo Mechanic, Photoshop, Raw Digger, Camtasia, and DPP 4 were all downloaded and installed seamlessly. More, including and especially Topaz DeNoise AI & […] What’s Up? On Tuesday morning I did well setting up the new computer once Apple Care Senior Advisor Andrew got me logged into my iCloud account. My Keychain and my e-mail settings came along with that. I have PhotoShop and Photo Mechanic up and running and Jen worked on Word and Excel for Mac in […] Wanted to Buy If you have a Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM with Extender 1.4x lens in excellent or better condition sitting on a shelf gathering dust and would like to unload it for a fair price, please contact me via e-mail.

This opens up two (or possibly three) pro-rated (with a late-registration discount) days aboard my 2022 eagle boat. This would seem to be a great opportunity for folks living in Anchorage or elsewhere in […] |
