American White Pelican City!

What’s Up?

I picked up Gary Chappel early on Tuesday morning in Winter Haven at his home on Lake Roy. We got to Lakeland well before sunrise and enjoyed a great morning of photography with about 40 very cooperative American White Pelicans. That was followed by a long working brunch nearby at a place called […]

The Lens I Advised Against for 3 Decades. More on Storage

What’s Up?

After watching the second half of the Super Bowl on Monday morning on TIVO, I was on a bit of a high. Peeking out the pool deck door, I saw that it was going to be a clear sunrise. With the wind from the northwest, I realized that conditions would be perfect for […]

A Simple Solution to the Botched Pelican Composite

What’s Up?

Despite the relatively poor (for photography) weather forecast, I had fun down by the lake on Saturday morning and made a few nice images as well. I will share the full story in tomorrow’s blog post.

Condolences to blog-regular Anthony Ardito as his favored Philadelphia Eagles fell to the Kansas City Chiefs, […]

Perfect? My Thoughts on Image Storage Problems

What’s Up?

My Saturday morning photo session qualified as “one-of-those-days.” There was a gorgeous sunrise, but both eaglets were sound asleep and neither of the adults were at the nest tree. After photographing a crane sleeping in the marsh, I drove around to the sunny side of the eagle nest. As I pulled up, the […]

Pretty Neat Eagle Nest Trick Shots. How Did I Do It?

What’s Up?

As you can see below, I had fun on Friday morning at the eagle nest. Neither of the young birds has branched yet. I’ve also been getting some good stuff on Mottled Ducks from the car. My daughters’ families got me a nice gift certificate for the holidays from some seafood joint in […]

How I Screwed Up the Composite. Next Week: White Pelicans, the North Tampa Rookery, and the Hooptie Deux

What’s Up?

I had another good morning down by the lake on Thursday. My new idea fizzled, but I have figured a way to improve it. The young eagles are flapping like crazy, but only in the nest. 🙁 I swam twice, and did a bit more packing for my upcoming trip to Homer, AK. […]

Killer Pelican Video. And Announcing the 2023/2024 San Diego Brown Pelicans and More Instructional Photo Tours

What’s Up?

I had another good morning down by the lake and came up with some exciting new ideas. If they work, I will be sharing them with you here soon. I got my 2022 taxes off to the accountant early for the first time ever. I enjoyed an afternoon swim, and began packing for […]

Screwed Up Again! What's Real? What's Fake?

San Diego -- It Ain't Just Pelicans!

This Just In!

I went down to the lake well before I finished today’s blog post and had an incredible morning at the eagle nest. I could have been really famous when one of the adult eagles flew in with a fish, but I had the exposure set for the nearly all-black baby eagles and […]
