Stuff I will be away for almost a month while leading the 2018/2019 Falklands land-based IPT. I should be back in the office (and back in the pool) on the afternoon of Monday, January 14, 2019. Happy new year! I should have good internet access until Friday December 21 and then again on the weekend […] Stuff We left the hotel at 5:30am and headed Northwest by van to the coast at Vina del Mar. We began the Falklands land-based IPT with a bang on our safety layover day with lots of great Inca Tern and Peruvian Pelican images. We had huge feeding sprees of Peruvian Boobies and Guanay Cormorants. There […] Stuff The pool was down to a chilly 73 degrees on Wednesday afternoon. I did take a swim in the morning on what is get-away day for Steve Rentmeesters and me. Steve arrived on Monday afternoon and we enjoyed some excellent close-up Sandhill crane photography on Tuesday and Wednesday morning and on Tuesday afternoon as […] Stuff I will be away for almost a month while leading the 2018/2019 Falklands land-based IPT.

By Wednesday morning it was down to 70 degrees. It warmed up a bit for my Wednesday and Thursday afternoon swims. I was thrilled the other day to learn that first-timer Shonagh Adelman of Chattanooga, TN signed up for the 2019 Puffins […] Stuff We enjoyed a fine last morning on the Early Winter (it felt like it at times!) Fort DeSoto IPT. We had two minutes of sweet light on some sandbar White Pelicans, more chances to practice tern and gull blurs, and a nice flock of Laughing Gulls and Sandwich and Forster’s Terns. We did the […] Stuff It was cloudy dark and very windy on Sunday morning. We started out with some neat pleasing blur opportunities and then headed to my favorite morning backup location. The birds were right where I expected them. As it had started to spit cold rain pretty good we made sure to work with our back […] Stuff I began working on this blog post early on Friday morning. I will be walking out the door in five minutes at 6:05am to begin the Early Winter Fort DeSOto IPT. Things are looking decent with the forecast for mostly clear skies and northeast winds. Those are a lot better than northwest winds in […] Yours truly at the opening of my FEB 2016 exhibit at the San Diego Natural History Museum Image copyright 2016: Dr. Cliff Oliver My First iPhone Amazement The first time that I ever took a second look at an iPhone image was when Cliff Oliver showed me the pano that he created […] Stuff After being down to as low as 70 degrees about a week ago, the pool was up to a balmy 85 degrees today. I did my usual slow half mile in the afternoon. When I got out of the pool I noticed a foraging flock of small songbirds high in the trees that border […] Stuff Amazingly the pool has warmed up from a low of 70 degrees to a toasty 81 yesterday. I am swimming a slow half-mile every day. Do consider using one of the B&H logo links below for your holiday photography shopping or the Amazon logo link on the right (or below) for household or […] Stuff I woke early on Saturday to spend the morning with BPN-friend Joe Przybyla who kindly shared his favorite spots in Lakeland with me. It was my first time out with my new, very own Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens. As I already knew after borrowing IPT veteran Michael Goodman’s 500 […] Stuff I was thrilled to learn that Galapagos Photo-Cruise of a Lifetime veteran Dietmar Haenchen signed up for the Fort DeSoto Early Winter IPT next week.

Please e-mail me directly if […] Stuff I finished editing Dr. Cliff Oliver’s iPhone Photograph e-Guide yesterday and got some solid work done on Andrew McLachlan’s Frog and Toad photography e-Guide.

I wil […] Stuff I am just about finished editing Dr. Cliff Oliver’s iPhone e-guide. And I just began editing Andrew McLachlan’s amazing frog and toad photography e-Guide.

I […] Stuff On a thankfully warmer Saturday morning (it had been 18 degrees early on Friday morning), the entire assembled family visited the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Oakdale, Long Island. Lissy asked that I take a family holiday card photo for her. As I flew up with no camera gear, I headed out fully confident with […] Stuff (and Stuffing) Thursday was a great day all in all. It was nice seeing former wife Dana and husband Kenny, Dana’s sister Rachel and her husband Bob, and son-in-law Erik’s sister Eva and her two boys, along with my two daughters and their families. My late-Mom and my late-sister Arna were missed. I […] |
