What’s Up?
Today is Friday 6 MAR 2020. We are headed down to the dock for our next-to-last eagle boat session in 33 minutes. Steve Elkins asked me to let everyone know that he has a Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS Lens in stock right now with your name on it. His contact info […]
What’s Up
Homer continues to offer consistently astounding photographic opportunities. After a delayed start on Wednesday — one of the two big outboards on our watercraft refused to start — we wound up having a totally fantastic day. During the delay, I seized the teachable moment by reviewing in detail all of my My Menu […]
What’s Up?
The second Homer IPT got off to a good start with lots of great flight photography from the boat. For the first time ever, this is an all-SONY IPT. Me-thinks that this very well might be a sign of things to come. Three of the five folks had never used Zebras with ISO […]
What’s Up?
Sunday past, the last day of the first Homer IPT, was yet another fantastic one. All but two folks from the first group are on their way home. One is staying for the second IPT, the other flies to Anchorage this afternoon, Monday 2 MAR 2020. Everyone was thrilled and sated with great […]
What’s Up?
With more snow in the Homer forecast, the entire group is mega-excited. IPT veteran Warren Hatch will be joining the group for today only, Saturday 29 FEB, 2020. We had planned to sail at 1:00pm but with the doom and gloom storm forecast for Sunday, we are headed out for an extended day […]
What’s Up?
Bald Eagle photography at Kachemak Bay has continued to be phenomenal. On Thursday afternoon we took the boat to a seldom-visited bay and with a brisk southwest wind we found a relatively sheltered spot; it was an absolute slaughter as we had birds diving right at the boat and banking in front of […]
What’s Up?
Me early, as usual — still on eastern time 🙂
Photography in Homer has continued to be astounding and the first IPT is going great guns. Multiple IPT vet Donna is thrilled that she made the last-second decision to join the first IPT and made a slew of contest-winning images on DAYS […]
What’s Up?
Homer has been beyond amazing. Coming earlier than usual the weather has been wild, the eagles have been ravenous, and the photography has been insanely outstanding — far beyond what anyone could have dreamed of. My recovered SONY gear has stood up quite well. On Friday and Saturday, both the 7r iv and […]
What’s Up?
As you can see immediately below, the weather in Homer, AK has been wild, but the photography has been beyond amazing. On Friday, with my SONY gear still in limbo, Clemens kindly loaned me his Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS lens and an EOS-1D X Mark II. I did not forget how to use […]
This Got My Attention!
It may have been that I had forgotten that you were forced to check your photo rollers or large backpacks on the planes for the short flight to Homer. Or it is possible that either they used to allow regulation roll-aboards like my large and sturdy ThinkTank Airport SecurityTM V2.0, or […]
What’s Up?
Jim and I had a great dinner at the Longhorn Steakhouse near the airport on Wednesday even. I loved my ribeye with crusted parmesan and the creamed spinach.
I was asleep by 8pm and woke at 4am, 30 minutes before the alarm was gonna go off. As I was not comfortable waiting […]
What’s Up?
I am packing like a fiend today, WED 19 FEB 2020. Jim will be taking me to an Orlando Airport motel late this afternoon. I fly to Homer on Delta via Seattle and Anchorage. It is a little bit of a challenge to make Homer by plane in a single day but if […]
SONY 600 GM in Stock at Bedfords
Good friend Steve Elkins of Bedford Camera asked me to let you know that he has a SONY 600mm f/4 OSS GM lens in stock. Please contact him immediately if it has your name on it. Please remember that if you purchase a SONY 600 GM […]
What’s Up?
As planned, I tried for pre-dawn blurs on Saturday at Circle Bar B preserve and had lots of good chances. A GBH flew right up to me and posed for about ten minutes on the dark, cloudy, morning. Then I headed to Lakeland for the white pelicans and did just fine keeping 39 […]
What’s Up?
I photographed for a while at Lakeland on Thursday morning on the way home from DeSoto/Gulfport. And did well. Each day I fall more in love with my SONY gear. I forgot to mention a recent first: on Wednesday morning during the 1 1/2 days I spent with multiple IP veteran Larry Master […]
What’s Up?
Me, early. As good as Fort DeSoto was on Wednesday, I am heading to do the American White Pelicans in Lakeland. I will be on the road from Gulfport before 5:30am.
A $1399 Discount Offer
I am offering a phenomenal $1399 late registration discount on the first Homer IPT. $1399 is not […]
What’s Up?
Larry Master and I had a great afternoon at DeSoto. And best of all, Larry learned a ton about his SONY a9 ii. We have a full day together, today, WED 9 FEB 2020.
This Just In!
Larry and I had a killer Wednesday morning at DeSoto. We started with several species […]
What’s Up?
I am headed over to St Pete later this morning to meet up with multiple IPT veteran Larry Master at Fort DeSoto this afternoon for 1 1/2 days of pretty much private SONY In-the-Field Instruction. I will do my swim at 8:30am today and then have the bloodwork for my next check-up done […]
What’s Up?
I’ve been swimming my 50 lengths (88 to the mile) afternoon with the pool right at 76 degrees. And I have been poking around the lakefront with my photo gear most mornings and afternoons. On Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting John and Tricia LeClair at Gatorland. See more on that below. […]
What’s Up?
I was glad to learn on Friday afternoon that the second Homer Bald Eagle IPT is now sold out. There are two slots open on the first IPT. If you are at all interested in making this IPT please get in touch asap via e-mail or by cell phone: 863-221-2372; you might be […]
