On Sunday morning it is clear and sunny here at ILE […] What’s Up Yesterday morning the lakefront at ILE was crawling with more than one hundred vultures spread out over several of their favorite areas. So I went down to the lake early, today, Friday November 8,2019. For 45 minutes, I stood on the edge of a canal, eye level with a pile of fish heads, […] What’s Up?

[…] Strong north winds on Friday morning made things close to impossible. This was my best image from the morning session. At least I had a good exposure … What’s Up? After enjoying an epic morning with the fishing Ospreys last Saturday, I booked an AirBnb for Friday night (November 1). Early in […] What’s Up? I am headed to Sebastian early on Friday morning despite the deteriorating weather forecast … Need System or Upgrade Advice? These are certainly exciting and volatile times in bird and nature photography: Canon, Nikon, SONY? Upgrade or switch systems? Yikes! If you are thinking about switching or upgrading and have questions, feel free […] What’s Up? I’ve been down by the lake most every morning photographing the plentiful Black and Turkey Vultures, some days flight, some days 1200mm head portraits, and some days both. I have been so excited by my experience with the Ospreys at Sebastian Inlet that I am staying over on Friday night and will be […] What’s Up? With the image optimizations, This blog post took well more than four hours to prepare. When you purchase some new gear, please remember to use the BAA B&H affiliate links or get in touch with Steve Elkins at Bedford. It is the best way (aside from joining an IPT) to thank me for […] What’s Up? I’ve been playing a lot recently with the 200-600 and the a9.

The fog was quite thick when I arrived; the visibility was perhaps 100 yards. Over time, that increased to 200 yards, and then, off and on, to 93,000,000 miles as the sun peeked in and out. I have been playing around with […] This image was created at Morro Bay, CA with the the hand held Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM lens and the Canon EOS 7D Mark II. ISO 400.

I took it pretty easy all day watching college football and then the amazing game six of the ALCS. Congrats to the Houston Astros and their walk-off mightly mite, Jose Altuve. (I was rooting for the Yankees …) I did get into the pool late in the day. […] What’s Up?
