What’s Up?

We had a great afternoon with the Green Iguanas at the Iguana Park in Guayaquil, Ecuador on Monday.

Based on his suggestions, I made several important […]

Nikon d-9 AF. Depth of Field Lesson and DOF Concerns with Bouquets of Sand Eels ...

What’s Up?

I’ve been doing lots of catching up and very little photography. My jet lag seems to be abating as I slept from 8:30pm on Saturday night until 4:30am the next morning with just one pit stop. I’ve enjoyed being back in the pool every day.

This blog post took more than two hours […]

How Large a Crop?

Anticipation. And dramatic jet-black backgrounds!

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 […]
