What’s Up? On the mostly cloudy final morning of the JAX IPT, I was looking to do something different so I headed down the beach to work on the nesting Brown Pelicans. It is a very difficult situation as the nests are somewhat cluttered and too many Laughing Gulls kept getting in the way. I […] What’s Up? We enjoyed two mega-sessions on Thursday. The morning was clear and sunny with a nice wind from the southeast. As the morning went on, we enjoyed some haze in the east that softened the light just a bit. The afternoon was mercifully cloudy. Having had nonstop action on (mostly) terns in flight, we […] What’s Up? Steve Elkins asked me to let you know that he currently has three Sony Alpha 1 bodies in stock. Click here to purchase.

We enjoyed a phenomenal morning of bird photography with a southeast wind and mostly sunny skies. It clouded over in the afternoon so we headed back early and enjoyed a phenomenal afternoon of bird photography with the world as a huge soft box. Between the four of us we created many, many thousands […] What’s Up? We had a great first morning at the Jacksonville tern and gull colony with mostly cloudy skies and a northeast wind. Mike DeRosa was using his a1/200-600 rig for the first time and made some outstanding images of Royal Tern in flight carrying fish for the numerous chicks. Many multiple IPT veteran Monte […] What’s Up? The Royal Tern/Laughing Gull/Brown Pelican rookery near Jacksonville was breathtakingly amazing. The beach is gorgeous, and there are an estimated 10,000 pairs of nesting birds in the protected dunes. With clear blue skies and a stiff onshore wind from the east (wind against sun …), photography was very difficult at best. With […] Your Favorite? Please leave a comment letting us know which of today’s three featured images you like best, and why you made your choice. What’ Up? It is 11:30am on Sunday 27 June 2021. Clemens Van der Werf and I are headed up to Jacksonville Florida for the Mini-IPT. We are both excited. Wherever you […] Your Favorite? Please leave a comment letting us know which of today’s two featured images you like best, and why you made your choice. What’s Up? I took another morning off from photography on Friday; I got lots of work done, but don’t ask me what I got accomplished. Since my 75th birthday 10 […] The Best Three? Please leave a comment letting us know which three images you think are the strongest, and why you made your choices. Thanks to Anita North for allowing me to share her fine images with you here on the blog. Anita’s African Gear Bag Sony Alpha a7R IV Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body […] What’s Up? Wednesday dawned totally overcast and dark. It brightened up by 8:00am, so I grabbed the macro lens and tooled around in the butterfly garden for a while without much success. So I headed to the front yard and spent a half hour sitting on the wet grass with the White-mouthed Dayflowers. I worked […] What’s Up? The clouds covered the sun early on Tuesday morning. I could not resist photographing the large colt family on the small hill next to the bathroom building. I was home and back to work by 7:30am. I answered lots of e-mails, worked on some images, and worked hard on some Used Gear Business. […] Your Fave? Please be so kind as to leave a comment and let us know which of Clemens three featured 1DX Mark III images you think is the strongest. And why. What’s Up? I enjoyed my morning off from photography and was thinking of making it two in a row. But the sky to the […] What’s Up? The White-mouthed Day-Flowers are blooming profusely in my front yard. I spent an hour with them sitting on the ground with the splayed Induro GIT 304L and the Levered-Clamp Mini (just two left in stock!). Then it was down to the lake to check on the large colts and the small colts. All […] What’s Up? There was not a lot going on on Saturday morning. I saw both two-young crane families, but did not stop to photograph them. I did photograph a goldenrod blossom that I had spotted on an afternoon walk. I headed home and photographed a somewhat strange, green and reddish brown Sea Grape leaf that […] What’ Up? I headed down to the lake yesterday not expecting to do many birds. I wound up sitting in the wet grass for almost an hour with the latest crane family at the end of Palmetto. I can no longer call the two young “chicks” as they are more than half as tall as […] What’s Up? I enjoyed one last session at the thriving Least Tern colony on Thursday morning. I was home just before 1pm with 7609 raw files to edit. I got through 4758 of those, keeping 362 after the first edit. I will be doing a Picking-Your-Keepers video on the last file of 2851 images soon. […] Your Fave? Which is the strongest flight shot? If you leave a comment, please let us know why you made your choice. What’s Up? I got to the beach at 6:30am on Wednesday. Clemens was off biking with his group; they did a tidy 25 miles. Then Clemens had a Zoom meeting. It was […] What’s Up? On Tuesday morning Clemens and I enjoyed another challenging morning of Least Tern photography in Southeast Florida. Mostly cloudy bright sky conditions were just about perfect. A breeze from the west/southwest? Not so much. But again, we both made some very good ones. The Nikonians webinar went very well, in part thanks to […] What’s Up? My 1 1/2 hour drive was not too bad. Since I left early, I was able to grab a 30–minute nap at a 7-11 ten minutes from the spot were I met Clemens on Monday morning. The Least Tern colony we visited is thriving. I think there are more than 100 young birds […] What’s Up? I left the house at 6:00am on Sunday morning and headed west on SR 60 in hopes of some color sunrise tree silhouettes. That fizzled quickly so I gassed up at Jimmy’s and headed back to ILE and down to the lake. As expected, I came across the crane family at the north […] |
