What’s Up? I’ve been so busy, that despite the beautiful weather in central Florida, I have not gotten down to the lake since I got home from Bonaire. For details on the late registration discount offer for the third DeSoto IPT, please shoot me an e-mail. Today is Wednesday 3 May 2023. This blog […] My Call Of the four images featured in the last blog post, Four Squares at the Sewer Works Main Pond on Bonaire, I could not pick a favorite; I liked them all. One of the very few comments from that blog post (and my response): Cliff Beittel/April 30, 2023 at 9:49am Can’t get enough flamingos, […] Your Call? Which of today’s four featured square images do you like best? Why? My Call In Thursday’s blog post, I agree with all who commented that the vertical crop was the most powerful. Thanks to Cliff Beittel for his erudite (as always) comment: Cliff Beittel/April 27, 2023 at 11:20am (1) While theoretically you […] My Call In Tuesday’s blog post, the few folks that commented correctly stated that the head of the juvenile Bald Eagle was completely lost in the bird’s right wing. Thus, the second image was the clear winner by default. With birds in flight images, the portion of the head can be as important as the […] My Call In Sunday’s blog post, I liked the second and the fourth images best. With the Wood Stork chick about two weeks old/Version II image, I found the darker background tones to be distracting and liked the overall brighter, white-on-white look. With the second set of images I was — as is usually the […] Your Call? (I) Which of today’s four featured images do you like best? Why? The Fact$ of Life Right now, the market for editorial sales of natural history images has virtually disappeared. The incomes of the world’s top stock photographers are down by at least 90%. Like me, most depend on income from photo […] My Call In Tuesday’s blog post, my tied-for-first “Fun-in-the-Fog” images were #3 for the angelic pose, the soft light, and the very fine post-processing, and #4, the striding Marbled Godwit, for the exquisite walking pose and the lovely Gulf-of-Mexico toned background that merged seamlessly with the sandflat. Thanks to the two new Sony a1 […] Your Call? Which of today’s four featured foggy day images do you like best? Why did you make your choice? Though I like all four images, I have two clear favorites. My Call My favorite Markus Leimburger image was the four pelican sunset silhouette image. Why? The midair head throwing pelican won the day […] Your Call? Which of Markus Leinberger’s two featured images is your favorite? Why? My Call Obviously, I loved both images in Friday’s blog post. My favorite, however, was image #2 in part because I love the aqua color of the Gulf water, and also because I anticipated the action as the male hopped off […] Good Morning America Listening to a John Prine mix on YouTube while preparing today’s blog post I came across a really sweet song here. The intro is quite neat as well. The song was written by Steve Goodman who wrote lots of Prine’s stuff. It put a big smile on my face. Ain’t music grand? […] The Fact$ of Life Right now, the market for editorial sales of natural history images has virtually disappeared. The incomes of the world’s top stock photographers are down by at least 90%). (Can you say Darrell Gulin? Like me, most depend on income from photo trips, the sale of educational materials, and income from this […] The Fact$ of Life Right now, the market for editorial sales of natural history images has virtually disappeared. The incomes of the world’s top stock photographers are down by at least 90%). (Can you say Darrell Gulin? Like me, most depend on income from photo trips, the sale of educational materials, and income from this […] What’s Up? On Saturday morning, I headed to Stick Marsh. Despite the fog, I managed to make a few good images using the handheld Sony 400mm f/2.8 with the 1.4X TC. On Saturday afternoon, I headed to the North Tampa Rookery. Bright sun made life very difficult. Today is Sunday 9 April 2023. This […] Hard to Believe: 4000! This blog post is the 4000th published since I began on 3 March 2009. At that time, I decided to phase out the BAA Bulletins and do all of my teaching on the blog. The comments on the introductory first “post,” are quite interesting. You can read them here. Stuff […] My Call In Monday’s blog post, my favorite image was #4, the Snowy Egret fly-by flight shots. Why? I loved the sweet light, the sharpness, the white on blue color motif, and best of all, the wings fully down flight pose. The calling Laughing Gull on the wall was my second pick for the action, […] Your Call? Which of today’s featured images do you like best? Let us know why? I have a clear winner. My Call In Saturday’s blog post, my two favorites were Image #1 for the soft pinks, the high key look, and the goofy flight pose and Image #2 for the sweet light and flight […] A Momentous Decision Inspired by new friend Robert Handin, I have decided to sell all of my photography gear (cheap), use the funds to purchase a quality cello, and take cello lessons. I have always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument. If you would like to purchase some used Sony gear at might-as-well-give-it-away […] Your Call? Which of today’s two featured images do you like best? Why? An e-Mail from my Roommate Dear Artie, For the last year and possibly more, i had been wanting to attend one of your IPTs. I had been thinking about either Fort DeSoto in Florida or San Diego because i could drive […] Your Call? Which of today’s two featured images do you like best? Why? What’s Up? The second morning of the first DeSoto Spring IPT was fair at best, but Bob Handin keeps raving about how much he is learning, how great Sony is, how great Zebras are, and how good his images are. In […] Unsolicited via e-mail from Pete Myers I just spent 4 days in the field in a graduate course in bird photography taught by Artie Morris at Fort DeSoto. After almost 50 years of experience pointing cameras at birds from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, New Zealand and beyond, I thought I was good enough. […] |
