What’s Up? This blog post took more than five hours to prepare from soup to nuts. Please remember to use my B&H affiliate links or get in touch with Steve Elkins at Bedford when purchasing new gear. And be sure to e-mail for advice before you spend money on the wrong stuff … Congrats to […] Two SONY 200-600s in Stock Right Now! Both 200-600 sold in one hour I just got off the phone with Steve Elkins of Bedford Camera. He has two SONY 200-600 lenses in stock right now ready to ship to you. He also has several a7r IV bodies as well. Contact Steve as below […] What’s Up? Walking, swimming, eating and sleeping well, and working hard. Along with lots of NFL games and MLB playoff baseball thanks to TIVO. It was looking as if I had my Nikon 600 VR and my gripped D850 sold, but the buyer back out. If you are seriously interested, please shoot me an […] What’s Up? I have been getting out every morning and learning more about the SONY AF system with the 600 600mm f/4L OSS GM lens and both teleconverters (just as I did on the recently concluded DeSoto IPT. On my Friday morning walk I spotted an amazing (ILE first-ever) five species of woodpeckers: Pileated, […] Photographing Los Pinnípedos de Galápagos. And Four More SONY a7r iii Galapagos Workhorse Images ...What’s Up? In an effort to reduce my use of insulin or eliminate it completely, I have just begun a new eating plan: intermittent fasting. I am eating one meal at 10am and my second meal at 3pm. So I am fasting from about 4pm till 10am the next day. No snacking then, only water. […] What’s Up? A strong east wind on Sunday evening made things difficult, but on Monday morning that same east wind led to a ton of great flight photography. There were about a zillion Sandwich Tern fishing just offshore of the sandbar. The flocks were moving quickly as they followed the schools of bait. I spent […] What’s Up? The Sandbar really rocked late on Saturday afternoon. We had lots of great bathing and flight photography, mostly with Sandwich and Royal Terns along with a flock of about 500 Red Knots and a tame American Avocet, only the second one I have ever seen at Fort DeSoto. Photographing on the sandbar is […] What’s Up? Shonagh and I enjoyed two excellent sessions at DeSoto on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. I am getting quite used to the SONY 600mm f/4 GM lens. Details soon. We met the rest of the group for two hours of learning and then did really well in two locations. Almost time to shower […] What’s Up? I made a ton of progress on the new BAA Gallery on Wednesday and sent a hard drive with all the images on it to the developer. I am hoping to go live in a week or two at most. Tomorrow I head over to Gulfport for the 2019 Fall Sandbar Secrets […] What’s Up? I have been working hard on the new BAA Gallery each day. I went to bed early and have been up for a while. It is now 5:25am. I just poked my head out the back door to check for stars (they were out) and was surprised at how chilly it was … […] What’s Up I spent the last two mornings photographing down by the lake with my brand new SONY 600mm f/4GM OSS lens and a SONY a7R iv., most often with the 1.4X teleconverter. For a variety of reasons that I shall expound upon in more detail in future blog posts, I am moth-balling my Nikon […] What’s Up? I have actually been a bit chilly on my 5pm swims, a pleasant change from a month ago. I spent a good deal of time working on the new galleries. I went through about 11,000 slide show JPEGs one at a time. This afternoon I will work on categorizing them. IPT News! […] What’s Up? I’m waiting for Chip to send me my final tax return for approval, working on the new galleries, and setting up the SONY a7r iv that I borrowed from B&H … Still doing my fitness routines every day. The pool has cooled down about 3 degrees as fall is arriving slowly down here. […] What’s Up? After aking Sunday off, I’ve gotten right back on track. I walked 2.8 miles this morning and am headed for the pool late today, Tuesday, September 17, 2019. There will be some big news — possibly shocking to many — here soon … There is lots of room on the Bosque […] Stuff I vegged out all day on Sunday — on the floor with my feet up watching the Smithsonian channel on TIVO in the morning and then NFL Sunday Ticket for the rest of the day. At least I ate well. IPT News I learned last week that Mary van Deusen and her friend […] What’s Up? Inspired by friend and client Greg Gulbransen (and his great gallery), I have begun to work on a project that should have been completed at least a decade ago: a BIRDS AS ART Gallery. Do check out the After Hate sub-gallery here; Greg’s images and his writing are extraordinarily moving, and powerful. […] What’s Up? What a good feeling to have finished getting together all the bricks needed to complete my 2018 tax return; we sent the finished worksheets and all the payroll and interest printouts to my accountant in St. Pete. He should be done in about a week to ten days. I was glad to […] What’s Up? Congrats to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and place-kicker Will Lutz. I have always rooted for the Saints and especially for Brees. He and the rest of the Saints stunk in the first half of the Monday Night Football game against the Houston Texans. They went ahead in the second half and […] What’s Up? On my 2.3 mile Sunday morning walk, I had 33 species of birds including all four dove species and eight wading bird species along with a Pileated Woodpecker and several Eastern Bluebirds. Last week I saw my first-ever ILE Black Tern that was possibly — heck — probably, Dorian-related. I am doing lots […] |
