What’s Up? On the morning of Day 3 of the DeSoto Fall IPT we absolutely killed. We had a feeding spree with eight totally tame Roseate Spoonbills, several Great and Snowy Egrets, a gorgeous Yellow-crowned Night-Heron or two, Tricolored and a Little Blue Heron, a dark morph Reddish Egret, and several dozen winter Laughing Gulls […] What’s Up? Things were looking really bleak on Friday morning for the DeSoto Fall IPT group but by refusing to give up we pulled a rabbit out of the hat at the last minute. Story on Sunday. Gotta get some sleep… Gear Questions and Advice Too many folks attending IPTs and dozens of the […] What’s Up? On Thursday we had a great day (even with wind against sun in the morning). We endured the threat of thunderstorms pretty much all day long but escaped unscathed. As the skies got black toward sunset we beat a hasty retreat and as we headed back to the hotel it poured. It is […] What’s Up? It is almost 9pm on Wednesday evening as I type. I woke at 2:56am this morning, finished 2 1/2 days of micro-adjusting my two new 5D IV bodies with four lenses and five different teleconverters… I swam a half mile at 9:30 and drove across the state arriving at the IPT hotel at […] What’s Up? I spent the better part of Monday and Tuesday micro-adjusting my two new 5D Mark IV bodies with all of my lenses and TCs… Whew. Almost done. Condolences to my former (and first) wife Dana Geils and her sister Rachel Bedford on the loss of their younger brother Brian Wenger on Tuesday. […] What’s Up? On Monday I headed into town early to have some routine blood work done. In addition, I visited Dr. TJ McKeon for some Active Release Technique chiropractic work on my right shoulder, left knee, and right wrist. Pretty much the rest of today and most of the day tomorrow will be spent FocusTune/LensAlign […] What’s Up? Jim and I had lots of action on Saturday evening and Sunday morning on our Fort DeSoto scouting trip. With each session I am loving my 5D Mark IV more and more. You will be seeing more amazing 5D IV images toward the end of this week. Jim did his usual stellar job […] What’s Up? Jim and I made it to DeSoto with plenty of time to spare. We did pretty well with several species of the shorebirds including Short-billed Dowitcher, Sanderling, Willet, Least Sandpiper, Semipalmated Plover, and Black-bellied Plover. Saturday morning was very slow at the traditional morning spot but we followed the advice in the Fort […] What’s Up? After some early Friday morning work on even more blog posts–I have about 40 stock-piled as I type–and an early swim and core exercise session, Jim and I headed to Fort DeSoto on Friday afternoon to do some scouting for the upcoming IPT. I had planned on heading farther south to visit the […] What’s Up? On Wednesday, my planned late swim was cancelled by a thunderstorm so on Thursday I swam early in the day after doing my shoulder stretching and exercises. I spent a good part of the day stock-piling blog posts and working on Used Gear Sales stuff. The latter has taken up a lot of […] What’s Up? I realized this week that I lost one of the two sets of my keys for my Toyota Sequoia so I decided to drive over to Vero Beach to the dealer. Purchase two keys… Simple matter, no? Actually not. It took more than 3 1/2 hours, and at that, they were only able […] What’s Up? On Tuesday, I got lots of work done on the two upcoming Falklands land-based IPTs and stockpiled a few more blog posts for your enjoyment while I am away. I was thrilled to learn that Ajit K Huilgol’s friend, MN Jayakumar, will be joining him on the August 2017 Galapagos Photo-Cruise of a […] Your browser does not support iFrame. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Bodies in Stock Right Now at B&H! I learned on Tuesday afternoon that B&H received an unexpected second shipment of this hot, hot camera body earlier today. Order your Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR using my B&H affiliate link and you […] What’s Up? On Monday I did lots of work and accomplished a lot but as I was finishing up my work on this post at 5:25pm I cannot remember exactly what I was so busy with… IAC, it seems to have stopped thundering and lightning so I am gonna head for the pool until proven […] What’s Up? On Sunday I made it down to the lake yet again with my relatively new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. At this time of year, but for the cranes, bird photography at ILE is a slow pick at best. I did lots more work on stock-piling blog posts, watched the UFC on […] What’s Up? My plans for Saturday include working on the future blog post stockpile, making hotel reservations for the Ushuaia/Torres del Paine segments of my South America busman’s vacation, my shoulder stretching and exercises, and a nice swim. Join the DeSoto IPT and get to use my 5D Mark IV for one hour. And […] What’s Up? I made some more 5D IV images on my morning outing down to the lake. I will share my favorite here tomorrow. I worked on a few more blog posts including this one. I started my core exercises at 12:15 and swam at 1pm. Then I was a lazy bum for a few […] What’s Up? I got down to the lake early in the morning to find lots of Sandhill Cranes and White Ibises. I worked from the car. I created a few keepers with the new camera. I will likely share my impressions of the 5D IV in Sunday’s blog post. I want to use it a […] What’s Up? I got down to the lake with my new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. See how I did in tomorrow’s blog post. It looks as if we are up to six for the Fort DeSoto IPT 🙂 Click here and scroll down for the complete details. Gear Questions and Advice Too […] What’s Up? I spent the most of the morning micro-adjusting my new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with LensAlign/Focus Tune. Patrick Sparkman called while I was at work and we both agreed that we had never seen tighter AF cluster. That says good thinks about the AF system. And though Patrick has not used the […] |
