What’s Up? I got really lucky on Monday morning. Or did I? The wind was wrong and there was not much light, but the 300mm f/2.8 and the a9 iii were the perfect tools for the job. The more I use this amazing gear, the more I am falling in love with it. The super-fast […] My Call My favorite image by a mile in the last blog post was Image #1: Roseate Spoonbill in flight with nesting material. Why? Gorgeous light, sharp, and carrying a pretty big stick. But the main reason is that because the two nesting islands at Stick Marsh are located to the northwest, 99% of the […] Why Do a9 iii Images Look So Good at Only 24.6 Megapixels? From Day One with the a9 iii, I have been trying to figure out why the quality of a9 iii images (24.6 megapixels) looks so good when compared to the quality of a-1 images (50.1 megapixels). See item 8 in the What You […] This Just In — 9:54am Thursday If you would like to join me early at Stick Marsh tomorrow for an -in-the-Field Session, Friday 15 March, try me on my cell at 863-221-2372 ASAP.

Hall “How old do you think I am?”, he said I said, “Well, I didn’t know” He said, “I turned 65 about 11 months ago” I was sittin’ in Miami pourin’ blended whiskey down When this old gray Black gentleman was cleanin’ up the […] Note This blog post took 4 1/2 hours to create. I Did Not Want to Like the Sony a9 iii Mirrorless Body … Based on what I had heard about the Sony a9 iii, and having been absolutely in love with the Sony a-1 for several years, I really did not want to like […] Announcing the 2024 Nickerson Beach IPT Join me to photograph Black Skimmers, Common Terns, American Oystercatchers, and […] Re-Published Yesterday’s blog post is re-published below as the server was down all day while I was flying home from Anchorage, AK. The First Ever BIRDS AS ART Lens Guide Impressed by my Sony 300mm f/2.8 images? Use either my Bedfords or B&H affiliate link to purchase your Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM lens and […] What’s Up? Today is Wednesday 28 February. We are headed out early in search of some more pink/purple/blue earth shadow shots. We are dressing very warmly as the forecast cold weather has arrived. I hope that you too have fun. With just two slots left on each Homer 2025 trip, I am hoping to […] This Just In! Many multiple IPT veteran Joe Barranco signed up for both Homer 2025 IPTs. Best not to tarry as there are now only two spots left on each IPT. I’d advise you to sign up for both today! The Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens is a Real Game Changer I fully expected […] What’s Up? I hit the sack at 7:30pm on Sunday evening. Today is Monday 19 February 2024. I woke to the alarm at 2:40am after sleeping a handsome 7+ hours. As Jim was kindly driving me to the airport, I began working on this blog post at 4:15am and am hoping to finish it […] What’s Up? Though I just got home, I am beginning to pack my suitcases and one of my Thank Tank rolling bags for my upcoming trip to Homer, AK. I fly to Anchorage this coming Monday. I’ve been relaxing a bit, walking everyday and spending time in the pool, and working on identifying and reducing […] 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).
