What’s Up? It’s been dark here for a few days and it was drizzling this morning when I awoke. That after eleven hours of great sleep with only two pit stops, almost surely a record for the last four decades … I am finished watching all ten NFL playoff games on Tivo — I only […] What’s Up? Homer is nearly sold out. First-time John Koeniger left his deposit for the 2nd trip this morning. The other six registrants are IPT veterans. Thanks about that for a moment … So there is just one slot left on the second trip, two on the first. If you would like to make this […] What’s Up? As much as I love California, it feels great to be home. I swam for the first time in three-plus weeks on Tuesday; the pool was 67 degrees and I was shaking and shivering when I got out after my slow half-mile swim. On Wednesday, the pool was up to a balmy 69 […] What’s Up? On a cloudy Sunday morning, Patrick and I enjoyed another great session with San Diego’s tame, beautiful pelicans. I left the 600 in the car and went with the 70-200 f/2.8 GM lens mostly with the 1.4X TC and the a9 II and the 200-600 with the a7 R iv. I have ordered […] What’s Up? What started out as totally foggy turned into a mega-morning at La Jolla. Just for the fun of it I left my 600 f/4 in the trunk, loaned my 200-600 to Patrick Sparkman, and shot the whole session with my SONY 70-200mm GM lens. At 9:00am I added the 1.4X TC. We got […] What’s Up? I must be getting pelicanned-out, at least in the afternoons. I took off for the. second afternoon it a row! I am however looking forward to meeting Patrick Sparkman at the cliffs early this morning, Saturday, January 25, 2020. I fly home early this coming Monday. Cleaning Up: Part I You […] What’s Up? After enjoying yet another great morning (Wednesday, January 23) with the pelicans on the cliffs at La Jolla, I took my first afternoon off since I arrived in California on January 3rd! Thursday morning was excellent but with not quite as much action as the previous day. It looks as if there […] What’s Up? We met Ed Dow at Morro Bay on Tuesday morning for yet another great session with the Long-billed Curlews and Marbled Godwits. At 9:10am, Luis and I packed up and headed back to San Diego. He did a remarkable job of getting us there in his wreck-of-a Ford Expedition in about five and […] A day late, but always worth a read … This is surely the most powerful piece of writing in the history of the English language. When I taught elementary school in New York City, one of my sixth-grade classes performed this speech as part of an assembly program. Comments are welcome. I Have a […] What’s Up? Luis and I enjoyed a mega-morning at Morro Bay. We had about 200 tame Long-billed Curlews along with 50 tame Marbled Godwits and a few tame Whimbrels and Willets. I created nearly 2000 images. Surprisingly, more than a few of my tight flight and action images with the a9 ii and the 2-6 […] This image was created on January 17 2020 by good friend and multiple IPT veteran Luis Grunauer along the shore at Oceana, CA. He used the hand held Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM lens and the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR Camera Premium Kit with 64GB Card and Reader. ISO […] What’s Up? Multiple IPT veteran and good friend Luis Grunauer and I left San Diego at 4:30am and photographed at Bolsa Chica Lagoon. I had not been there for many years. The good news is that we had two pairs of Surf Scoters and lots of drake Buffleheads at close range. The bad news is […] This image also created at St. Paul, AK by Patrick with the handheld Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens with the Sony FE 2.0x teleconverter and the Sony Alpha a7R III Mirrorless digital camera body. ISO: 500. Multi-metering. Exposure determined via the Zebra feature: 1/800 sec. at f/6.3. Image #2: Red-legged […] Homer Bald Eagle Photography Lessons Click on the play triangle to learn about getting the right exposure for black and white subjects in sun or on cloudy or snowy days, the best lenses for eagle photography in Homer, creating pleasing blurs, basic and advanced composition, and tons more in this free video. Click on […] What’s Up? Monte Brown came early to spend a few extra days with me and then attend the San Diego IPT. He was hoping to photograph the usually easy Wood Ducks. We tried and failed three times early on. This normally dependable species was inexplicably missing in action. As we had killed on the pelicans […] This image was made with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS-1D Mark IV. Again, not bad for Canon 🙂 If you missed the Homer IPTs announcement (there are two separate trips), or if you are thinking of attending, be sure to see yesterday’s post here. […] This image was made with the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS-1D Mark IV. Not bad for Canon 🙂 If you missed the Homer IPTs announcement (there are two separate trips), or if you are thinking of attending, be sure to see yesterday’s post here. […] What’s Up? I have committed to doing both the 6-day and the 5-day trips. I have my flights and my hotel room. Now, all that I need is you. There has been considerable interest so far and it looks as if both trips will fill quickly. The Greatest-ever Bald Eagle Experience IPTs IPT #1: […] Homer Bald Eagles … I am returning to Homer for the Greatest-ever Bald Eagle Experience IPT at the end of February through the beginning of March 2020. My plan is to do a six-day (FEB 25 —26— 27 — 28 — 29 — MAR 1) trip followed by a day off and a five-day trip […] Homer Bald Eagles … I am returning to Homer for the Greatest-ever Bald Eagle Experience IPT at the end of February through the beginning of March 2020.
