What’s Up? Anita North, BPN friend and early IPT arrival Kevin Hice, and I had a great day on Saturday photographing eagles from the work boat. We had very low light early (ISO 6400 at f/2.8!) and then bright sun in the morning, and slightly overcast conditions in the afternoon. Today is Sunday 20 […] What’s Up? Friday, our second day of doing the songbird setup, was rain-free but colder with a brisk southwest wind. Can you say wind chill factor? The action was a bit slower than it was on Thursday, and it was difficult working with the constantly changing light with some perches in the sun and some […] What’s Up? On Thursday, Anita North and I spent about six hours at a feeder set-up in Anchor Point, AK photographing Pine Grosbeak, Boreal Chickadee, Common Redpoll, and Red-breasted Nuthatch. It was cloudy all day with rain showers off and on. We ended up very wet, but we had a ton of fun and made […] What’s Up? Anita North and I — Anita did the bulk of the driving — pulled into Land’s End Resort at about 4:00pm on Wednesday after leaving Anchorage at about 10:00am. There was about 8 inches of fresh snow overnight in Anchorage, that followed by lots of slush, some rain, some sun with blue skies, […] What’s Up After waking at 2:50am Florida time on Tuesday, I got into Anchorage 20 minutes “late” at 3:50pm (Alaska time). Considering that door to door was about 18 hours, things went quite well. I grabbed my rental vehicle and headed to the nearby Lakefront Anchorage for an expectedly fitful night’s sleep. I got to […] What’s Up? Jim and I, very, very early. We left for Orlando Airport at 3:29am for my 7:15am flight to Seattle. I have a perfect just-under two-hour layover and am scheduled to arrive in Anchorage at 3:15pm local time. I will be staying the night and driving down to Homer on Wednesday. Folks who […] How Many Spoonbills? Quiz How many spoonbills do you see in today’s featured image, Image #1A? What’s Up? I forgot to mention that like today’s featured image, both of the Royal Tern images featured in yesterday’s blog post were among the 135,000+ recovered images 🙂 It rained all morning on Sunday and I opted […] Wanted to Buy If you have a Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM with Extender 1.4x lens in excellent or better condition sitting on a shelf gathering dust and would like to unload it for a fair price, please contact me via e-mail. I have a reliable buyer. Your browser does not support iFrame. […] The Stronger Image? Which of today’s two featured images do you like best? Please leave a comment and let us know why you made your choice. What’s Up? On Friday morning I made a few nice images of the young eagle in the nest getting fed. I was thrilled to learn that six of […] This Just In! 2:13pm Thanks to kind, knowledgeable, and helpful readers all of the computer problems below no longer exist. What’s Up? I enjoyed a nice Thursday morning photographing at Lakeland with friends. See the A Strange Morning at Lakeland item below. Also, below, I need some help with Photoshop on the new MacBook […] What’s Up? After seven failed attempts due to our slower-than-a-snail WiFi, I finally downloaded and installed Word and Excel for Mac on the new machine. The rest of the day went smoothly: Photo Mechanic, Photoshop, Raw Digger, Camtasia, and DPP 4 were all downloaded and installed seamlessly. More, including and especially Topaz DeNoise AI & […] What’s Up? On Tuesday morning I did well setting up the new computer once Apple Care Senior Advisor Andrew got me logged into my iCloud account. My Keychain and my e-mail settings came along with that. I have PhotoShop and Photo Mechanic up and running and Jen worked on Word and Excel for Mac in […] Wanted to Buy If you have a Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM with Extender 1.4x lens in excellent or better condition sitting on a shelf gathering dust and would like to unload it for a fair price, please contact me via e-mail. I have a reliable buyer. What’s Up? Well, after being in data […] What’s Up? A single photographer needs to leave Homer early (due to new, even more restrictive travel rules for Canadian citizens). This opens up two (or possibly three) pro-rated (with a late-registration discount) days aboard my 2022 eagle boat. This would seem to be a great opportunity for folks living in Anchorage or elsewhere in […] What’s Up? I headed down to the lake on Saturday morning in totally dreary conditions. The two adult eagles were in the nest tree and the chick was sitting up. Two hours later I returned after it had gotten brighter, but the chick was hunkered down a bit in the nest. I had brought my […] What’s Up? A single photographer needs to leave Homer a bit early (due to new, even more restrictive travel rules for Canadian citizens). This opens up two (or possibly three) pro-rated (with a late-registration discount) days on my 2022 eagle boat. This would seem to be a great opportunity for folks living in Anchorage or […] What’s Up? On Thursday morning I photographed a Turkey Vulture, a Sandhill Crane, and the young Bald Eagle in the nest. To say that the eaglet has grown incredibly fast would be a big understatement. Sunset was not bad with some nice sky color. Stay tuned for the news on the attempted data recovery. The […] What’s Up? Stick Marsh was better than expected. Just before sunrise there were about 20 Roseate Spoonbills on the North Rookery Island. Most of those birds flew off at about 7:15am. Soon thereafter, there were spoonies flying in and out until about 8:15am. The birds were displaying, courting, and pulling leaves (but not sticks or […] What’s Up? I headed out for a short session on Tuesday morning. I photographed the usual ILE suspects: Cattle Egret, Turkey Vulture, and Sandhill Crane. I am pretty sure that I got one very nice crane image. With no laptop, I will not know for sure for at least a while. I spoke to the […] What’s Up? My MacBook Pro (and the almost surely messed-up back-up drive) are on the way to the data recovery outfit in California by Fed-Ex Overnight Priority. I should find something out late today or early on Wednesday. My fingers still crossed. I will spare you the details when I learn more. If you […] |
