My Call In the last blog post, my favorite was Image #1 by a slim margin over Image #3 because of the super-low perspective. The weakest of the lot was Image #4. Though the square crop was the best available, I did not like it because the bird seems stuffed into the frame with nowhere […] Apologies As I have had just one day off from teaching since I arrived in CA here weeks ago. I have fallen behind badly with regards to answering e-mails. As I fly home this coming Saturday, I should begin catching up early next week. What’s Up? As in San Diego, we have dodged lots of […] Change Your Life Sign up for a Spring Fort DeSoto IPT. Details below. Your Call? Which of today’s featured 1/15 second images do you like best? Why? My Call I liked all of the images in the last blog post. My surprise favorite was Image #3, the Wet and Injured Brandt’s Cormorant. I […] Change Your Life Sign up for a spring Fort DeSoto IPT. Details below. What’s Up? A Must Read for Everyone The second 2024 San Diego IPT lost a morning to rain and the last two mornings featured difficult wind against sun conditions, but the amount of learning that went on was astronomical. Jeanette LaPorte […] My Call In the last blog post, my favorite image was the one of the sea lion. I liked five of the cute, well made, interesting flight shots equally well. For me, the weakest avian flight image was the oystercatcher because of the relatively harsh, somewhat off angled light. That said, I did like the […] My Call My favorite Monte Brown image was the tight shot of the back of the pelican’s head and neck, Image #3. Why? Because of the incredible colors and the sweet, sweet, and distant background. Homer IPT vet and great friend Bob Eastman agreed and was the only one to note that the incoming pelican […] Amazon In it’s infinite wisdom, the Amazon affiliate program recently eliminated all types of generic and logo links as well as product-specific links with images such as those formerly featured on the Great (Photographic Accessory) Stuff tab here (and above on the orange-yellow menu bar).

January 23, 2024 at 11:09am The relatively short focal length and the distance to the subject makes for the broad area in focus even at the wide aperture. What’s Up?

In perfect conditions, I created 3460 images. Now all I need to do is pick the best ones. But first, a nap. What’s Up?

And, in just a couple of days, we learned a lot more than we ever expected to. Your Call? Which of the three background colors do you prefer for a preening white pelican? […] What’s Up? On Friday morning, Sigmon and Sadako joined me for our last session. Again, there were few birds, but again, a tremendous amount of learning took place. As both of them were, for the first time, using their monopods topped by Wimberley MonoGimbal Heads, I reviewed proper monopod handling (and sharpness) techniques with them. […] What’s Up? The first day of the private IPT was massively successful. The weather forecast was calling for a NW wind and partly sunny for St. Pete. After consulting with Sigmon and Sadako, we decided to drive an hour to Lakeland and hope for the American White Pelicans. Though the forecast for Lakeland was for […] Your Call? I know that today’s two images are totally different. That said, which do you think is the stronger photograph? Why? What’s Up? On Sunday past, it was raining as I drove down to the lake. Soon it was pouring. I created some pretty sweet images of a pair of cranes in the heavy […] No Homer IPT Price Increase! Despite that fact that the hourly boat fee has been increased by 33%, I have decided not to raise the price of the 2025 Homer IPTs. Scroll down for details. Amazing! Two folks who have traveled with me to Homer before signed up for both trips within an hour of […] Your Call? Which is your favorite image in the video? Why did you make your choice? Old Like Me? #HeadOverFoot #EveryStepStronger If you are getting up there — like me, and your balance is not as good as it used to be — like me, you might want to check out David Weck’s Instagram […] This infrared image was created on a Palouse IPT with the hand held Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lens and a Canon EOS 5D Mark II converted to infrared at 720nm.
