Little bear hug! Here is a bit of a variation of an image I shared last month – this was from an amazing morning this past August on the coast of Katmai National Park, Alaska.
Bats!
It has been awhile since I have photographed bats. There were so many of them in the Chiricahua Mountains, that I started to play around with them again, although unsuccessfully since I didn’t have my proper trigger. Bats have really been hitting our humminging bird feeders in Marana, so set up again last night with good success.
On an occasional photo, I had ghosting, but not consistently. I have a feeling that might be due to the Camptraption flash triggers. I don’t think they are ideal for this – I used them since they stay “awake” all night. Tonight, I’ll try Phottix Ares II. The only drawback with them is that they turn off with a hour of inactivity. They shouldn’t be a problem, there are lots of bats!
Waiting
Back to photos from August! I find it fascinating to watch the different techniques brown bears use to catch salmon. Some bears, particularly the younger ones with spend a lot of time running up and down the river. There guys are fun to watch and photograph! On the other hand (paw), it isn’t uncommon to see big old boars like this one patiently sitting on the bank waiting for the perfect moment to charge and pounce! Little wasted energy.
