I got off the ship on the morning of Wednesday, October 31. I had two hours to kill before the bus would take my group to the airport. Amazingly, there were 4-8 Southern Giant Petrels feeding near shore and displaying aggressively. I grabbed the 500 PF and a D850 and sat on a rock […]

Last February, a friend and I signed up for Andrew McLachlan’s Cayman Brac/Brown Booby Workshop. We had a great time, learned a bunch, and wound up with a ton of great images (as seen on the blog). Andrew is a moderator in the Landscapes, Cityscapes and Travel Forum on BirdPhotographer’s.Net. His e-guide to frog […]

When I Got on the Ship …
When I got on the ship, Berger Brothers on Long Island, NY had a Nikon 500 PF in stock right and there is a possibility that it is still available. As they are pretty much impossible to get, give Brad Berger a call if you would like to […]

We made it to Ushuaia, Argentina without any hassles. It is cold and dark and windy here. As we do not get on the ship until Friday afternoon, I will spend most of my time working on blog posts for the time I am gone. Do consider joining me on an IPT 🙂

We are all packed and headed for the airport as I type. I fly MCO to MIA and then red-eye to EZE (Buenos Aires). Then we take a bus to AEP, the in-country Buenos Aires airport. From there we fly to Ushuaia arriving — if all goes well — at about 7:30 pm on […]

I have been opening an unending stream of Amazon Prime packages and trying on all manner of sneakers and boots and gloves and long johns in preparation for the big Emperor Penguin attempt. We fly next Monday.

Well, the hoped for miracle occurred yesterday; Multiple IPT veteran Michal Goodman Fed-Exed his Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens to me. As soon as it arrives I will begin micro-adjusting it. I was so excited when he called that I could barely stand it.

On Friday, I drove over to Tampa to have lunch with a friend so I figured that it made sense to drop down to DeSoto to photograph on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. I got an Airbnb room for Friday night for less than $50; that saved me about $80. Friday afternoon was not […]
