Be so kind as to leave a comment letting us know which of today’s three featured images you like best and why you made your choice. What’s Up? With a SW wind on Friday morning, a blessed haze softened […] What’s Up? On Thursday morning it was sunny and clear with a strong west wind; not even I could manage anything very special in such difficult conditions (he said modestly). Conditions were much better in the afternoon. Possibly for the first time ever, I headed out with the 600mm f/4, no TC, and no […] Stand By Me — Playing For Change (PFC) Playing For Change (PFC) was founded in 2002 by Mark Johnson and Whitney Kroenke. Mark Johnson was walking in Santa Monica, California, when he heard the voice of Roger Ridley (deceased in 2005) singing “Stand By Me”; it was this experience that sent Playing For Change […] Your Call?

As you enlarge each photo, consider the amazing versatility and sharpness of the handheld Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens. Pair it with a Sony Alpha 1 Mirrorless digital camera) and earn free entry […] What’s Up? When I got to the beach on Saturday afternoon, I had a decision to make: take the 600mm f/4 and the tripod (with both TCs in my fanny pack), or take it easy and go with “just” the 200-600? There were plenty of clouds to the west, but I decided to go light […] My Call Thanks for the many comments at Thursday’s 2X3 or Pano American Oystercatcher on Eggs? blog post. Everyone felt that the pano crop was far more effective than the 2X3 version as it eliminated the detail-less foreground and background and brought our attention right to the subject. I agree. Most did not like the […] What’s Up? On Wednesday, I finished writing the text for the upcoming “The Art and Science of Photographing Birds in Flight with the Sony Alpha 1. I have sent a copy out for review and will be working on the photos for the next few days. I’ve been walking two to three miles every day. […] My Calls Everyone but Kevin Hice thought that I should have eliminated the seventh, extra leg in Image #1. He wrote, Being that asymmetric is always better; I would leave the seventh leg. I agree with Kevin. Most folks liked Image #1 best. I liked image #2 best as there was more meat on the […] What’s Up? In the last blog post I agreed with all who commented: Image #1, the one made using the knee-pod technique was the strongest proving once again that lower is not always better. Th incision is looking fine and dandy and the stitches will be removed tomorrow. I am anxious to get back […] My Call In the last blog post, my top pick was the oystercatcher in the swash image for its simplicity and its beauty. That said, I really liked the foraging terns image as well. Your Call Of today’s two featured images, do you like the knee-pod perspective of Image #1 or the heel-pod perspective […] What’s Up? I changed my bandage for the first time on Tuesday evening, DAY 5 after the trigger finger surgery. The incision looks fine, clean, and black with no redness at the edges and just a bit of expected swelling on the pad of the palm below my shutter button finger. The stitches will be […] Via Text from Andrew Schonbek Thanks for the great DeSoto IPT, Artie. It was an eye-opening experience in many ways. I have lots to work on and practice in the aftermath. Looking forward to learning more in the future. Andrew Via Text from Stu Goz Much love and respect to you. On the 3rd DeSoto […] Thursday’s Blog Post Kudos to John Storjohann who was the only one to note that I added a catchlight to the chick’s eye in Image #1. As I love both of them, I could not choose between the two featured images. As I do like the position of the crab and the egg case best […] What’s Up? With a tame American Oystercatcher family with two chicks along with several thousand Black Skimmers and Common Terns, Nickerson has been great. In addition to working the oystercatcher chicks, there has been lots of great flight photography with both the terns and skimmers. And at most, there have been only a handful of […] My Call In Sunday’s blog post, my clear favorite was the spoonbill/marsh grasses image; I love the soft light and am a sucker for pink and green. Not to mention the exquisite image design. What’s Up? In today’s post, I share with you four additional darned good images from the unexpected mega afternoon at […] What’s Up?

Today is Friday 19 May 2023. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, […] My Call In Wednesday’s blog post, I liked Image #3 best — the B&W version of the Ring-necked Duck swimming with the orange eye painted back in. Why? I thought that it was a pretty clever optimization. What’s Up? I will be taking the Auto Train north on Sunday afternoon and will be spending […] What’s Up?
