What’s Up? The road-kill cafe provided lots of action on Wednesday morning. I sat in the car nearby until the first vulture flew in and by the time I got in position one of the two circling Bald Eagles struck the opossum carcass and tried to fly away with it. But missed. I worked exclusively […] What’s Up? My favorite morning location in Lakeland was terrible. There were about eight American White Pelicans way too far away on large support ring around the soon-to-be-dismantled lighted, ornamental X-mas tree in the middle of the lake. Usually there are several dozen of them sitting on the bulkheads right next to the lake. There […] What’s Up? On Monday I got back in the pool, did my bursts, and took a morning and afternoon health walk. After a decent morning photo session, I got lots of work done on the R5/R6 Camera User’s Guide. Today is Tuesday 29 December 2020. It is 7:20am as I type; Jim and I […] What’s Up? Sunday was one of those days. The morning photography session was not too good. I did not do any work on the R5 Camera User’s Guide. I did not do any work on the RawDigger Guide (though I did get the information that I needed from Patrick to go forward. I did not […] What’s Up? I spent most of Saturday working on the Canon EOS R5 Camera Body User’s Guide. It is hard work that involves lots of research and — with camera and lens in hand, lots of experimenting. I am, however, making good progress as I slog through the relevant menu items. I had fun […] What’s Up With the cold northwest wind on Friday morning, I stayed in and worked on the RawDigger Guide. Needing some help from Patrick Sparkman who was busy enjoying the holiday with his family, I began work on the Canon EOS R5 Camera Body User’s Guide. I got a ton of work done on both […] What’s Up? I got a few decent Belted Kingfisher images yesterday morning from the car working at 1200mm with the a7r iv. I got a lot of work done on the RawDigger e-Guide and should have it finished today or tomorrow. That will free me up to work on the Canon R5/R6 User’s Guide full […] What’s Up? I spent a good many hours working on the RawDigger e-Guide yesterday and will do the same today. It is Thursday 24 December and I will be headed down to the lake in a few to set up a road kill cafe for the vultures (and possibly for a Bald Eagle or […] What’s Up? After re-fitting the pool’s heater/chiller a few months ago, and installing a new filter system more recently, the only thing left to fail was the pump. I cannot say that anymore. The pool was a balmy 86 degrees last week, but I was at DeSoto when the pump failed and with a mild […] What’s Up? It is 7:13am on Tuesday 22 December 2020. I spent several hours working on the RawDigger e-Guide yesterday and will do the same today. As soon as I hit publish, I will be heading down to the lake to photograph for a bit. This blog post makes seven straight days with a new […] What’s Up? Today is Monday 21 December 2020. I went down to the lake despite the clear skies with a brisk southwest wind. After creating a very few decent head portraits of some handsome Turkey Vultures from the car with the a7r iv at 1200mm, I headed home to finish this blog post and enjoy […] What’s Up? On Friday morning, I had a tough time deciding whether to head to Lakeland or return to DeSoto. As things turned out, I should have gone to Lakeland and checked on the Great Blue Heron nest and on the American White Pelicans. That said, I created more than 900 images at DeSoto and […] What’s Up? It was really cold on Thursday morning. And cloudy-dark early. There was one Willet on the sandbar. I left. There were three distant diving pelicans at my favorite back-up location. I left. I was glad that I did not have a client with me. Then it was off to back-up location #2 where […] What’s Up? Me, early, as usual. It is Friday 18 December 2020. I will be heading to Fort DeSoto at about 6:15am. The forecast looks great: cloudy followed early by sunny skies with northeast winds from 10-13mph. And a rather chilly 43 degrees … It would probably be a good day not to get my […] What’s Up? Today is Thursday 17 December 2020. It is cloudy-dark here at 8:18am as I type. This blog post is almost done. When it is finished, I will get into the pool for an early 1/2 mile swim. I will be heading over to DeSoto at about 11:30am and staying two nights. It is […] What’s Up? I stayed in and worked on the RawDigger e-Guide on Tuesday morning. At 10am, Jim and I drove down to the lake to get wet and muddy. With a roll of stiff wire and a pair of pliers, we repaired The Perch that I had erected with Anita North about two years ago. […] What’s Up? I was so into assembling this blog post that I stayed in on an absolutely gorgeous morning. This blog post took about eight hours to prepare (including the time spent on the image optimizations. There is a ton of great stuff below. Note especially the versatility of the Canon RF 100-500, the great […] What’s Up? Saturday morning at DeSoto was totally different from Friday morning. When I left my hotel it was drizzly but quickly turned cloudy, then cloudy bright, then mostly sunny by 10am. Carl Page, who had signed up for the recently canceled San Diego IPT, who was attending a business meeting in Sarasota, joined me […] COVID Strikes Again From the California Department of Health website: No hotel or lodging entity in California shall accept or honor out of state reservations for non-essential travel. I have, therefore, canceled the San Diego IPT and my entire trip to California. It will be the first time in 49 years that I have not […] What’s Up? Today is Wednesday, 9 December 2020. I was up early again. As usual. It is even colder than yesterday, but with less wind; I have not decided whether or not I will head down to the lake this morning. I have lots of work to do. But I do love photography … […] |
