What’s Up? Today is Friday 27 MAR 2020. I am headed down to the lake soon to try for the large crane chicks in a marsh setting. After the fog lifts. Martin Flight Photography Info In the Martin Flight Photography blog post here, the two images were created from the same RAW file. I […] What’s Up? I’ve been swimming every day. And doing my bursts. It was very foggy here this morning but I went down to the lake when it brightened up, but with the west wind, I did not try the low Osprey nest. I did have an Osprey from another nest flying circles right over me […] What’s Up? Wednesday 25 MAR 2020 dawned dark and gray here at Indian Lake Estates. I plan on getting back to work on the almost finished SONY guide this afternoon now that things here are settling down (at least here at ILE). If you missed yesterday’s blog post here, I’d love to hear your thoughts […] What’ Up? I enjoyed my half-mile swim on Monday afternoon. I headed down to the lake this morning (Tuesday 24 MAR 2020) for a short photo session but did not do much. I got into the BAA Online Store, printed the outstanding orders, and figured out how to print the UPS labels! COVID-19 News […] What’s Up? I had a nice 1/2 mile swim on Sunday afternoon and will be headed down to the lake this morning. I was successfully able to order some hard-to-get stuff on Amazon Business, stuff that had been showing as “currently unavailable.” Those included toilet paper, Clorox bleach spray, and elderberry syrup. — another immune […] What’s Up? We decided to cut the spoonbill boat gig short by a day. We did two full days, THURS and FRI MAR 19 & 20. We enjoyed a ton of great Brown Pelican flight photography both afternoons, lots of huge am and pm White Ibis blastoffs, and few really good spoonbill flight opportunities. I […] What’s Up? DAY 1 on the spoonbill boat was fair at best. In the morning, we had a very few good chances despite perfect conditions — lovely early light, low tide, and an east wind. In the afternoon we enjoyed the wind shift to the southwest, lots of flying Brown Pelicans (many carrying and landing […] What’s Up? I have added a box of disposable lightweight rubber exam gloves to my coronavirus protection kit; be sure not to touch your face with the gloves on and be sure to turn them inside out and discard theem after each use. I was quite surprised that my local pharmacy had plenty in stock. […] What’s Up? I am hoping that everyone is staying safe and in good health. As seemed likely, the Georgia Nature Photographers Association Annual Expo Conference at Villas by The Sea Resort & Conference Center, Jekyll Island, GA has been canceled. I am heading over to Fort DeSoto today for two days of photography […] What’s Up? It seems to me that the number of nesting pairs of wading birds along the swamp boardwalk at Gatorland is down 90% from the worst season in recent memory — last season. There are less than a dozen Great Egret nests — several with eggs and one with two fairly large chicks. I […] What’s Up On Friday morning I headed to Circle Bar B Preserve in hopes of creating some pleasing blurs. I arrived way before sunrise but — on a completely windless morning — was quickly driven back to my vehicle by swarms of angry, biting mosquitoes. My next stop was Lakeland where there were still hordes […] What’s Up? I have been swimming every day, eating well, and working hard on the new SONY e-Guide. This morning, Thursday 12 MAR 2020, I will be heading down to the lake as there are a pair of small Sandhill Crane chicks and a new low Osprey nest on a dead palm tree. I was […] What’s Up? I did well on my flights home. Door to door the journey took 25 hours as we left the hotel at 7am Alaska time and arrived at ILE at exactly 12 noon on Monday. I was able to sleep about 3 1/2 hours on the Seattle to Atlanta leg and another 45 minutes […] What’s Up? Everyone from Group 2 of the 2020 Homer IPT is headed home. Very happy. My early morning flight from Homer to Anchorage that began in a light snowfall was short and uneventful. As the flight was not full, I got to carry on my wayward Think Tank rolling bag. I began working on […] What’s Up? After a fantastic beginning, it is difficult to believe that the opportunities to create great Bald Eagle images have continued to be varied and excellent. We are delaying our sailing today in hopes of getting some images of perched and flying eagles in the falling snow predicted for this afternoon. Today, Saturday 7 […] What’s Up? Today is Friday 6 MAR 2020. We are headed down to the dock for our next-to-last eagle boat session in 33 minutes. Steve Elkins asked me to let everyone know that he has a Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS Lens in stock right now with your name on it. His contact info […] What’s Up Homer continues to offer consistently astounding photographic opportunities. After a delayed start on Wednesday — one of the two big outboards on our watercraft refused to start — we wound up having a totally fantastic day. During the delay, I seized the teachable moment by reviewing in detail all of my My Menu […] What’s Up? The second Homer IPT got off to a good start with lots of great flight photography from the boat. For the first time ever, this is an all-SONY IPT. Me-thinks that this very well might be a sign of things to come. Three of the five folks had never used Zebras with ISO […] What’s Up? Sunday past, the last day of the first Homer IPT, was yet another fantastic one. All but two folks from the first group are on their way home. One is staying for the second IPT, the other flies to Anchorage this afternoon, Monday 2 MAR 2020. Everyone was thrilled and sated with great […] What’s Up? With more snow in the Homer forecast, the entire group is mega-excited. IPT veteran Warren Hatch will be joining the group for today only, Saturday 29 FEB, 2020. We had planned to sail at 1:00pm but with the doom and gloom storm forecast for Sunday, we are headed out for an extended day […] |
