The past few years I have gone down to the Portal area of the Chiricahua Mountains to photograph the hummingbirds. In previous years, I have brought with my numerous flashes so that I could freeze the motion of the wings. This past August / September I used natural light and let the wings blur. I don’t think one way is better than the other, just different. Just now getting caught up on my editing and adjusting from this past fall. This is a Broad-billed Hummingbird.
Our winter home has always had a fair number of Vermilion Flycatchers, however, this year there seems to be many more than normal! I fine with that as I find them to be very striking. The red is brighter than that of the Northern Cardinal – so bright!. This is a male who was bringing food to a nest with two chick in it.
I have an unexpected cancellation opening up a cabin for a single traveler or couple on my Inside Passage Alaska Bear and Whale trip. We usually see lots of whales and bears, but so much more including stunning tide water glaciers, all on the very comfortable 87 foot classic wooden yacht. For more information, check out our website: Alaska Photo Tours.
Also, for the first time ever I still have a bit of space on my Alaska Bear and Puffin trip. This isn’t a tent camping trip, no we return each day to a very comfortable lodge with amazing food! But the real highlight is the bears, and based on all the mating activity I saw last year, we should have a number of spring cubs this year as well!
There are two amazing location in which I have been guiding photo tours to for more than 15 years.
