What’s Up I got lots of work done on Friday while listening to Billy Joel all day on YouTube. And reading lots on him. Friday night I attended Grandson Sam Egensteiner’s HS Graduation ceremony. He will be attending Emerson College in Boston in the fall. If you would like to take advantage of the […] What’s Up Again on Thursday I felt a bit better than the day before and got some more work done on the BAA Current Workflow Guide. I am pretty sure that as I have aged I have developed ADD … var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX = “”; var ftY […] What’s Up On Wednesday I continued to feel a bit better and got some more work done on the BAA Current Workflow Guide. If I weren’t so meticulous the going would be a lot faster 🙂 var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX = “”; var ftY = “”; var […] What’s Up Every day I feel a bit better and Tuesday was no exception. And I got some substantive work done on the BAA Current Workflow Guide. t I was pleased to learn that Fort DeSoto IPT veteran Ed Blanton will be joining the Palouse group. He makes six. var ftClick = “”; […] What’s Up I am feeling a bit better each day. The nasty cough is gone. All that I am left with now is a bit of sticky nasal congestion. Yuck! See the late registration discount info on the Palouse IPT below. var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX = “”; […] Same Bird. Same Place. Same Lens. Same Photographer. Same Image? Amazing when you think about it ...What’s Up I am feeling better still though I have a lingering, nagging, scratchy cough at times. I had a great time this weekend at DeSoto. Multiple IPT veteran Mike Hankes from Ormond Beach and newcomer Steve Olive from North Fort Myers joined me for the full program and Ray Jusseaume from Ellenton joined the […] What’s Up By Friday dinner I was feeling much better. I met up with Michael Hankes and we headed for DeSoto. While exploring on Tierra Verde we spotted a great blue with a big black snake, probably a racer. He did not like us and walked down to the shore of a nearby lake. As […] What’s Up I went down to the lake for an hour on Wednesday morning. I had about a dozen thisclose-to-being great chances that all fizzled out. I did have a few good chances and made a few decent images. I went down to the lake on Thursday morning but it was not too good. […] What’s Up I spent a good part of Tuesday fighting a quick-developing but nasty sore throat using a mega-gargling protocol from Dr. Oliver. Right now, Tuesday evening at 6:36 as I type, I seem to at least be holding me own. Time will tell. Free Friday Afternoon Desoto In-the-Field Session Sign up (details below) […] What’s Up I photographed down by the lake for a bit on Monday morning and learned some neat stuff that I will be sharing with y’all here soon. Got a lot done (though I am not sure what) and enjoyed my late afternoon swim — I go so slowly that it is actually more mediation […] What’s Up Gatorland was great on Sunday morning especially with the small Snowy Egret chicks in the nest. The two clients, Marj Kao and Char Hulse (who was in Orlando for the weekend) had a great time and learned a ton. It was Marj’s third BAA meet-up. Char had only rarely pointed her lens at […] What’s Up? I finally made it up to Gatorland on a cloudy, drizzly Saturday afternoon. I brought along my Wimberley head and my Umbrella Rig hoping for a downpour or two but all I got were a few sprinkles … In any case, it was much better than I expected with some wet Great Egret […] What’s Up? On the flight from Helsinki to JFK I watched three movies. The first was “Patriots Day.” It dealt with the Boston Marathon bombing, the capture of the perpetrators, and Boston Strong. It was good and moving if a bit contrived. I cried a lot especially at the end. The second was “Live By […] Great Last Second Opportunity … I have two clients for Sunday morning at Gatorland. I will be there on Saturday afternoon. Call me on SAT morning at 863-692-0906 or show up with cash at 4pm on the rookery boardwalk at Gatorland. If the latter, please e-mail me first. BIRDS AS ART May 13-14 Gatorland […] What’s Up? After my 23-hour door to door trip home from Oulu, Finland on Wednesday, I was home just after midnight. I endured two four-hour layovers. I did not sleep a wink on the 8-hour flight from Helsinki to JFK but slept like a rock for two hours on the flight to Orlando. I managed […] What’s Up? Yes, nothing is guaranteed in nature photography. Rating the quality of our photography in Kuusamo on a scale of 1-10, I’d give it an 8.75. Doing the same with our 3 1/2 day visit to Oulu, I’d give it a 0.75. As noted yesterday, the incredibly late spring combined with cold temperatures and […] What’s Up? Well, we made it to Oulu and learned quickly that with the late spring, everything frozen, north winds, and even colder weather predicted that there are very few Ruffs in town and that the chances of photographing them on the lek before we leave are somewhere between slim and none. NATURE Photography […] What’s Up? Finland has continued to amaze. On Thursday we enjoyed photographing battling Black Grouse on their lekking grounds for the second straight morning. On pure snow. That afternoon was diving Ospreys and an hour with a crazy Capercaillie … We had a killer morning with a pair of White-throated Dippers on Friday and a […] What’s Up? So, we get to the gate for the short flight to Kuusamo on a pretty good-sized Embrear jet. Anita North, who was at the gate early, gives us the bad news: we will need to gate check our Think Tank bags, not because they were too large for the overhead, but because they […] What’s Up? I made my flight to Helsinki despite the delay on the way from Orlando to JFK and the flight to Kuusamo was easy. It was a miracle that the four of us got our carry-ons onto the plane, but we did. Story at some point. Finland has been beyond amazing so far. […] |
