Due to a cancellation, there is one opening on my Falklands Land-based IPT DEC 22, 2018 thru JAN 5, 2019. I checked yesterday and the Saturday-only flights to Stanley, The Falklands (on 12\/22\/18) and back to Santiago, Chile (on 1\/5\/19) are both currently open. <\/p>\n
The freedom offered nature photographers in the Falklands is unparalleled. This trip sold out in minutes when it was announced 18 months ago. There is only a single opening … If you are good to go, please call my cell immediately at 863-221-2372 and shoot me an e-mail<\/a> if I miss your call and you leave a message. Personable, happy campers only please. <\/p>\n

| \n Join me in late 2018 for two weeks in penguin and albatross heaven …<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Falklands Land-based IPT DEC 22, 2018 thru JAN 5, 2019\/Two Weeks: Limit 7 photographers\/one opening due to a cancellation: $8499<\/h3>\nI will be leading an innovative land-based Falklands IPT leaving from Stanley, The Falklands on SAT 22 DEC 2018 and flying back to Santiago, Chile on SAT JAN 5, 2019. Why innovative? We will be spending six nights at The Neck on Saunders Island, one of the premier wildlife photography destinations on the planet. That followed by three nights on Sea Lion Island, and ending up with four nights on Bleaker. Note that most BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Nature’s Best contests usually honor multiple images made in The Falklands each year. <\/p>\n What else is innovative? Most two-week land-based photo trips have you visiting four or five or even six islands hopping on a FIGAS plane every two days or so. As you are at the mercy of the flight operations you may miss several mornings or afternoons of photography. Why not stay at three great locations, locations that offer the best photo opps without any long walks?. On Saunders we will get to photograph Gentoos, Magellanic, and a small King Penguin colony. The Rockhoppers return to land en masse each evening. We will witness lots of predation. On Bleaker we will get close to several great species with ease including point-blank chances on Rock Shag, a very difficult subject. At The Neck we will be staying in a rustic cabin right in the heart of the action. There is great stuff on Sea Lion a short walk from the lovely lodge. On Bleaker we will be enjoying near-luxury accommodations, great home-cooked meals, and will have two vehicles at our disposal. <\/p>\n What else? The first Black-browed Albatross chicks hatch every year on or about 12 DEC. If you visit in early January you will miss most of the tiny chicks. And worse yet, the Rockhopper Penguin chicks are leaving by the second week of January. This trip is timed to get you chances on tiny fluffy white albatross chicks, some of the larger fluffy white chicks, and the rockhopper chicks as well. Along with lots of Gentoo chicks of all sizes at all three locations.<\/p>\n With several years of experience on the Falklands, more than six in fact, nobody knows how to read the sky conditions, the wind, and the light better than me and have the group in the best possible spot at all times. With lots of strong west winds, you will need someone who knows how to put you in position to make good images on near-impossible mornings. <\/p>\n |
