Huge Thanks! Huge thanks to Allan Warner of Seattle, WA for his very generous BAA Blog Thank You Gift! Allan, it is greatly appreciated that you appreciate my effort here. Lots of love your way. artie Still Room at the Inn If you would like to join Bob Eastman and me at Sebastian Inlet for […] What’s Up? Sebastian Inlet is on fire. On Wednesday morning, Bob Eastman and I enjoyed a huge feeding spree with the pelicans, terns, and Ospreys diving on bait for hours. On Thursday morning, the action shifted to the end of the (soon-to-be-closed-for-nine-months) North Jetty. The added bonus was a juvenile Sabine’s Gull, insanely rare for […] What’s Up? On Tuesday, Bob Eastman and I had another great morning at Sebastian. It was a dreary high ISO session, with a perfect wind from the southeast and as many as 50 Ospreys patrolling the inlet. They were doing lots of diving but not a lot of catching. As we headed home, I told […] Your Call Which are the two strongest of today’s nine featured images? Why? What’s Up Sunday morning belonged to Bob Eastman. We were ready to give up and head back to our AirBnB for some eggs. Just as Bob started the car, we noticed five Ospreys in the air right in front of us. We […] Your Calls Autofocus-wise, which of today’s six featured images do you think is the most amazing? Separate question: which is your favorite image? Why? for both. What’s Up? Bob Eastman and I are having fun every day at Sebastian Inlet. On Thursday afternoon we spent lots of time with the very cooperative white morph Reddish […] What’s Up? Bob Eastman and I had a fabulous morning at Sebastian Inlet on Wednesday. We had three Ospreys dive into the water within 20 feet of us. All caught a fish. Each struggled to get it out of the water. Each failed. But oh, what an adrenaline rush. Check out the images then get […] What’s Up? Bob Eastman and I had a great first morning at Sebastian. Aside from a zillion Ospreys fishing the inlet, a cooperative white Morph Reddish Egret on the beach made our day. The afternoon looked like bird photography death with a strong SE wind and sunny blue skies but I scouted around and found […] A First Ever Request The item below appeared in the Safe to Go in the Water. Six images made with a v2.02 a-1 blog post here. Your Call The challenge today is to put today’s six featured images in order with the strongest one first and the weakest image (in your eyes) last. As each […] It’s Safe to go in the Water Now Sony a-1 Firmware Update Update Last spring, Sony announced firmware update v2.00 for the a-1, its flagship camera body. In short order the firmware story became an embarrassing fiasco. Over time, the announced v2.01 that caused terrible problems with the camera was used with the hugely popular […] What’s Up? Steve Zarate sold all of his Canon items, including the near mint RF 600mm f/4L IS lens, within two days of their being listed in the last blog post. Yesterday I sent the SONY Alpha a1 Set-up and Info Notes e-Mail J (23 OCT 2014) Firmware Update Update item to the entire group; […] Your Call? Which of today’s five featured image is your favorite? Why did you make your choice? I love them all but have a clear favorite. My Call and Reasons In the Tricolored Heron Second Edit YouTube Video blog post here, my favorite was Image #2, the Tricolored Heron non-breeding adult vertical front-end portrait. […] Tricolored Heron Second Edit (with Fine Points) Today’s mirrorless gear is so good and the frame rates so high, that it is often necessary to delete dozens if not hundreds of perfect images. I originally made about 800 photos of this cooperative wading bird working from the front seat of my vehicle at 1200mm […] What’s Up? November 20, 2024 will mark 30 years since the death of my 2nd wife, Elaine Belsky Morris. She was diagnosed, she followed and endured the horrific chemo and radiation therapies, and she suffered. Four months prior, they told us “It’s a miracle, the tumor has disappeared.” Then she was dead in short order. […] Your Call? Which of today’s four featured images do you like best? Why? What’s Up? Photography continues to be good in the mornings here at ILE. This morning I had a gorgeous Red-shouldered Hawk posing on The Perch II. I will be sending SONY Alpha a1 Set-up and Info Notes e-Mail H (15 […] Your Call? Which of today’s six featured images is the strongest? Please leave a comment and let us know why you made your choice (or your choices if you go with two). I have a clear favorite that I will share with you in the next blog post. What’s Up? I had wanted to […] What’s Up? In the last post, I commented on Thursday morning at 8:01am as follows: Thanks, all, (for the good wishes). I slept through the night. I walked around the house at 6am with my iPhone flashlight; we are unscathed. We never lost power here at ILE. Jennifer did lose power at her home in […] What’s Up As of 2pm on Wednesday 9 October 2024, Hurricane Milton was scheduled to make landfall somewhere between Tampa and Sarasota this evening. At the least, it is supposed to be one of the most powerful storms ever to strike Florida. Many storm tracks show the eye of the hurricane passing directly over […] What’s Up? Today is Tuesday 8 October. Hurricane Milton is on its way to Florida. It is currently aimed right at Tampa and should make landfall some time on Wednesday. With this storm following close on the heels of Hurricane Helene, the potential for catastrophic, double-barreled damage along the coast of Southwest Florida boggles the […] Preview Today’s post is for serious photographers only. If you want to learn some very fine points about exposure, keep reading. I can guarantee that the material covered below has never been published anywhere in any form. I would be remiss not to mention that even though the original The Art of Bird Photography […] Artie and the Mets I was blessed to have experienced the 69 Mets when I was 22 years old. They were an expansion team in 1962 with 120 losses, the most ever in the modern era until the 2024 Chicago White Sox eclipsed them with 121 losses this season. The Mets were 100-1 to win […] |
