What’s Up? We had a bit of bad weather luck (it was sunny) on our last two days at Seahouses and our first gannet boat trip that was scheduled for Monday afternoon was weathered-out — the swells were too big. But we finished with a huge bang and great fortune on a slightly drizzly morning […] What’s Up? For the most part, we have enjoyed excellent photography weather (i.e., cloudy bright) interspersed with short periods of blue skies with wind against sun. On Monday morning, we head up to Dunbar, Scotland for two gannet boat trips (weather permitting/fingers crossed). I will be following up soon on the many responses to […] What’s Up? Tuesday on the puffin boat was mega. We could not land on Wednesday morning because of a nasty swell and that afternoon was lousy with an east wind against bright sun. Thursday on the puffin boat was mega-mega. We have been eating well (and too much), learning a ton, and having fun. I […] What’s Up? After four great days at Bempton Cliffs — Thanks, Mikey! — we moved down from Cranswick to Seahouses on Monday. We are all set for six straight days on the puffin boats. BPN is down, with apologies. We suffered a phishing attack that is so bad that right now not even the service […] What’s Up? Friday afternoon was not as good as Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning was not as good as Friday morning. That will almost always be the case after a truly sensational start. That said, we had lots of good chances on Friday afternoon and lots of good chances on Saturday morning — bless the […] What’s Up? Red-eye flights are never huge fun, but mine was uneventful. I met multiple IPT participant Randy Strickland in Chicago for our flight to Edinburg, Scotland. Most of the group had arrived early: many multiple IPT veteran Anita North, first-timers Shonagh Adleman and Carsten Anderson (of Danmark), arrived early in Edinburgh. Many multiple IPT […] What’s Up? I should surely be in the UK by the time that you read this. Photographing gannets at Bempton Cliffs. Two brand new BAA publications will be released soon. The first will be The BAA Middle of Florida Photographic Site Guide, co-written and co-illustrated by Joe Przybyla and yours truly. Focus on Frogs […] What’s Up? I am on the way to the airport, Chicago, and Edinburgh, Scotland as I type. No worries, right-hand man Jim Lizenburg is driving. If all goes as planned, I will meet the group and our driver at EDI at 9:15am on Thursday. I have spent much of the last 24-hours overdosing on […] What’s Up? As soon as this blog post is published on the early morning of Tuesday, June, 25, I will begin packing in earnest for my trip to the UK. It has been hotter than heck here every day and I have been swimming a half-mile plus each afternoon. Thanks for all the kind comments […] What’s Up? Me, early again, as usual. I am getting started packing for the big UK trip. For me, packing begins with doing laundry, completely unpacking my two checked bags, and charging all the camera batteries. I shot a new video yesterday on some of the finer points of using the FlexShooter Pro head; […] What’s Up Two brand new BAA publications will be released soon. The first will be The BAA Middle of Florida Photographic Site Guide, co-written and co-illustrated by Joe Przybyla and yours truly. Frog Pond Adventures/A Guide to Photographing Frogs and Toads was written and illustrated by Andrew McLachlan and edited for readability by yours truly. […] What’s Up? I realized yesterday that my one hour ten, minute connection time in Chicago on the way to Edinburgh, Scotland for the 2019 UK Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kites IPT was not a safe one. If my flight from Orlando to O’Hare was delayed at all and I missed my flight to EDI there […] What’s Up? More of the same. But no rain on Thursday. I have not gone down to the lake as the fields are so wet that I’d be scared of getting stuck (again). I hope to be making a second FlexShooter Pro video this morning if I can grab Jim before he heads out on […] What’s Up? It is good to be home, eating well, back in the pool and working hard. It has been pouring here for several days with huge thunderstorms and torrential rains (interspersed with periods of bright sunshine). I fly to the UK next Wednesday evening for the 2019 Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kites IPT. […] What’s Up? After a delayed flight out of Thunder Bay on Monday, I was very lucky to just make my flight to Orlando. Traffic was horrific as Jim picked me up that evening so we stopped for a nice dinner at Carrabba’s to let the traffic ease a bit. We did not make it back […] What’s Up? We had a great early morning of fishing and some pretty good eagle photography on Sunday morning. I caught my biggest Walleye, about 24 inches. On this lake, all Walleye over 18″ must be released as they are the breeding females. It is after 6pm and I still have not started packing yet […] What’s Up Yesterday, Friday, June 14, was my 73rd birthday. We caught lots of Walleye and had a great dinner of ribs and coleslaw. Wind against sun both morning and afternoon pretty much put the kibosh on eagle photography. Today, Saturday, June 15 was simply fantastic for the eagles with a perfect east breeze. I […] What’s Up We had a great Thursday afternoon with loads of Walleye including some fairly large ones and tons of flying and diving eagle images with 37 keepers for me on a sunny, windy afternoon. Thanks to those who commented on the Red Knot Three Ways blog post here. Coming Soon I will […] What’s Up We had the perfect morning on Wednesday. It began with a dead battery in the boat. While Anita went back to get the charger, I cast from the dock and hooked a nice pike on a lure — my favorite way to fish for them, and lost it at the boat. In the […] Two Canon 600mm f/4L IS III Lenses in Stock Right Now! Bedford’s has two almost-impossible-to-get-your-hands on Canon EF 600mm F/4L IS USM III lenses in stock right now.
