Kudos! Kudos to Stuart Edwards who left the comment below on the last blog ost. 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? Though it stopped raining for the IPT, the weather […] 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 such as those formerly featured on the Great (Photographic Accessory) Stuff tab here (and above on the orange-yellow menu bar). In this and many future blog posts, I will post an […] 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 such as those formerly featured on the Great (Photographic Accessory) Stuff tab here (and above on the orange-yellow menu bar).

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? I did a bit […] 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 such as those formerly featured on the Great (Photographic Accessory) Stuff tab here (and above on the orange-yellow menu bar).

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. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop: 1/320 sec. at f/9. Custom White Balance off the green grass. The AF point […] Have a Great 2024 Do your best to take care of your health. Spend some time laughing, smiling, thinking, and crying every day. (Thanks to Jim Valvano.) Get out as much as possible to do some photography. It is my fervent wish that each of you attends a BAA Instructional Photo-Tour this coming year. I […] Re-published! This post was originally published on Wednesday 27 December 2023. Then it mysteriously disappeared. Thanks to blog regular Dan Carr I was able to re-construct the photos and links and re-publish it on SAT 29 December 2023. Your Call? Which is the strongest of today’s three featured images? Why did you make your […] Who Said It? A (relatively) famous photographer once said this: Backgrounds to me are almost the most important part of a picture. Who said it? (Hint: Not a nature photographer.) Sorry, a Google search will not get you there. My Call In the blog post that mysteriously disappeared, my favorite image was Image #1 […] No Worries I did get the text from Dan Carr who found it cached on Google! It will take me a while to re-do all the links. I am hoping that it was a one-off! A First After 4,137 blog posts, a published blog post has disappeared from the face of the earth. And it […] Not Bad for an Old Lady! Enjoy Brenda Lee’s screen notes while watching this video with your family and friends this holiday season. It is quite well done and quite touching. The 78-year-old pop and country music star recorded the iconic holiday nugget at the age of 13. It was always a staple […] What’s Up? The north wind eased up a bit on Thursday morning so I drove down to the lake for an hour and made some nice images of the usual suspects — Cattle Egret, Little Blue Heron, Sandhill Crane, and Turkey Vulture. And, I had some fun when I created two source images for a […] What’s Up? I will be heading up to Long Island on the Auto Train on 22 July and heading back to Florida on 21 August. I will be announcing two Nickerson Beach IPTs and one Jamaica Bay shorebird IPT soon. It has been sunny, cold, and windy in the mornings here so I have not […] |
