La Jolla's Anna's Hummingbirds

What’s Up?

On Friday, I enjoyed a different kind of wonderful morning with the pelicans. As predicted, there was a barely perceptible breeze from the east so there was not much flight and the birds that did land came in very low. The few photographers who came late left early leaving all of the beautiful […]

A Little Person Story. And a Hard to Believe Dog Tale

What’s Up?

As below, Thursday morning proved to be quite interesting.

Today is Friday 30 December 2022. The forecast for this morning is for more of the same, cloudy skies with a gentle wind from the east. As always, I will be at the cliffs early. This blog post took about an hour to prepare […]

The Foggy Image Optimization

What’s Up?

Monday morning might have been the most spectacular yet for pelicans. There were more pelicans in La Jolla than I had ever seen in my forty years of visits. With a big surf, there were lot of birds up top. In fact, there were pelicans everywhere. With so many birds, I walked back […]

Bite Me!

What’s Up?

It seems hard to believe that every morning session in La Jolla has been better than the previous one. With a 15 mph wind from the east as the sun rose those in the right spot on the cliffs enjoyed fantastic flight photography. I wound up deleting hundreds of perfectly sharp, well-framed […]

I'm Always Hoping for Just One Good Image. On Listening to the Leader. And On Seeing Different and Wonderful

What’s Up?

Thursday morning was fabulous for pelicans again. And lots more. I filled a 160GB Delkin card for one of the very few times ever. But today’s blog post is about our first afternoon.

There were more than 600 pelicans on the various cliffs on Thursday morning. We experimented with 1/13 second cormorant […]

Avian Whitewash Poop Art

What’s Up?

Conditions on Wednesday morning were similar to those on Tuesday: a gentle surf and bit more of a breeze from the northeast later in the morning. The pelican photography was excellent again and we had more flight chances. I was joined by Anar Daswani of San Jose, CA. Anar joined me for two […]

Scissors-Preening. What is It? And Photo Tips

What’s Up?

Orlando International Airport was as jam-packed as I’ve ever seen it at 5:30am on Monday. I was glad to have TSA Pre-check! As a huge fan of Air Disasters,I was glad that my non-stop flight to San Diego was blessedly uneventful.

When we landed in San Diego I looked across the aisle […]

What’s Up?
