What’s Up? I was thrilled on Tuesday to learn that multiple IPT veteran Malcolm MacKenzie signed up to join Shonagh Adelman and me on the 2019 UK Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kites IPT; Seahouses, Bempton Cliffs, and the Dunbar, Scotland Gannet boat to Bass Rock! That done, I committed to the trip and purchased my […] What’s Up? I got up early on Tuesday, have been working on this blog post for well more than four hours, and am still not done. It is cloudy here at ILE and I plan on doing some outdoor Focus Fine-tuning with my Nikon gear as soon as I am done. I was thrilled […] What’s Up? I spent Sunday morning on Lake Kissimmee with good friend and many multiple IPT veteran Clemens Van der Werf. It was a beautiful day on the water but with an at-first gentle breeze out of the northwest, conditions for flight photography were less than ideal. We saw lots of Snail Kites and had […] What’s Up? Robert Matyas, visiting from Ottawa, and I had a fabulous morning in Lakeland with the tame White Pelicans being the stars of the show. We saw an adult Bald Eagle and a Caspian Tern — both diving for fish. We also had a tame pair of Green-winged Teal including a gorgeous drake, a […] What’s Up? There has been lots of interest and many varying opinions and comments on Thursday afternoon’s What am I, chopped liver? blog post here. In retrospect, it is likely that I screwed up a bit. Or maybe not. Check out the comments and my responses if you like. Cheap Gatorland Saturdays A Saturday […] What’s Up? I was in a bit of a funk on Wednesday and spent most of the day on the couch watching movies. The best was Training Day with a very evil Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. I was back in top form on Thursday morning after sleeping 10 hours, a record for me. I […] What’s Up? Disaster Averted I arrived early on Monday evening past for the Orlando Camera Club presentation: Lessons from the Field/BIRDS AS ART-Style. As we were setting up it dawned on everyone that we did not have the proper cable connectors, we could not hook up my new computer to the projector … My one […] What’s Up? For the past few hours I’ve been putting the finishing touches on the Orlando Camera Club program — Lessons from the Field/BIRDS AS ART-Style. An MP4 video of the show will be available for purchase later in the week. Jim and I are on the way up to Orlando as I type this […] What’s Up? I finished my program for tomorrow night and am excited about the presentation. I hope to see you there. BIRDS AS ART BIRDS AS ART is registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Orlando Camera Club Program Sponsored By Bedford Camera On February 25, 2019, I will be presenting […] What’s Up? The new laptop is up and running. It is quite a bit faster than my old one. Photo Mechanic, Photoshop, and Capture One v.11 are all installed and running smoothly. Next on the schedule is to restore NeatImage …I am eating and feeling great and doing lots of swimming and lots of walking. […] What’s Up? Setting up a new computer is never without challenges. I have already downloaded and installed Photo Mechanic and Photoshop (Adobe Photoshop CC/20.0.3 release). I got my samandmayasgrandpa e-mail address set up in Apple Mail. All of the above after many, many hours of phone support and re-setting passwords. As I type, I am […] What’s Up On Day 3 of the Spoonbill IPT we had our best morning with spoonies on the ground. And the afternoon of flying pelicans was not bad either. Late on Monday afternoon I learned that Captain Froggies customized pontoon boat, the Hoopetie Deux, had developed engine problems so on Tuesday morning we visited some […] What’s Up? Morning Two on the Spoonbill Boat IPT was even slower than morning One. That said we made some really good pre-dawn blurs and Anita North nailed a landing, braking spoonbill with her D850/600VR/TC-E17 rig on a tripod. Anita and John Dupps, another multiple IPT veteran, nailed an Osprey in flight carrying a nice-sized, […] What’s Up? What’s up is that I have so, so much to share right now that I wish that I could do three blog posts every day for at least the next two weeks. But alas, the Spoonbill Boat IPT calls. We had a relatively slow start but had some great chances with breeding plumage […] What’s Up? The SONY gang had a great time on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning with tons of learning going on along with some great chances. See below for some of those. The Spoonbill Boat IPT group is all headed for our Meet and Greet dinner in Brandon. We will be getting up very early […] What’s Up? I am heading over to Circle Bar B Ranch in Lakeland for a morning photography session. Then I meet multiple IPT veterans Mike Gotthelf and Morris Herstein for a lunch session on setting up their SONY A9 bodies for bird photography. That will be followed by an afternoon shooting session at Fort DeSoto […] What’s Up? I’ve been walking and swimming every day and am sleeping and feeling great. I am getting ready to head over to the west coast (of Florida) for the Spoonbill Boat IPT and more. IPT Updates $200 late registration discount on the Spoonbill Boat IPT! Scroll down for the details. I have room […] What’s Up? I spent four hours with Patrick Sparkman on FaceTime last night. We had planned to do a SONY A9 Setting Up Your A9 for Bird Photography video using Camtasia. After almost three hours we realized that that was not going to happen. 🙂 It took Patrick about an hour to help me get […] What’s Up? I have really been enjoying my swims each afternoon along with Florida’s gorgeous weather. Being open to seemingly serendipitous encounters and following through on them can have some wonderful results. IPT participant Luis Alberto Grunauer is in the process of experiencing just that. You will surely find his story below interesting and […] Too Ignorant for Too Long: Shutter Count dot Com. And the Nikon Fire Sale Succeeds and Continues ...What’s Up? I am getting excited about receiving my new SONY gear by Fed-Ex tomorrow. I was glad to learn that Patrick Sparkman sold most of his Nikon fire-sale stuff (including his 600 VR!) in one day.
