For those who are wonder about our Arizona winter operation, but are not really sure what it is all about – Jim Griggs created this awesome 4 minute video that pretty much covers it perfectly!
Star Trails
Playing around with the stars last night getting ready for tonight’s night sky photo workshop!
Ringtail
The ringtail coming into the waterhole last night. Such a cute face!
Gila Woodpecker
We must have at least 20 of these guys around this year! I would say there nest activities around here the last couple of years have been a success!
Black-throated sparrow
A Black-throated sparrow. Since we didn’t have any guests here at the Desert Photo Retreat this weekend, I decided to spend some time in the blinds last night. This is such a cool little bird!
Kenai Fjords National Park Photo Tour
For the first time in years, I’m offering a Kenai Fjords National Park photo tour! In fact I’m offering two of them, and I have 1 spot remaining on one of the trips remaining available.
This trip has it all! A helicopter photo flight with the doors off and an extended landing high in the mountains. A paddle among the huge Icebergs of Bear Glacier Lagoon. Four full days / nights on a 65 foot yacht with a total of only four guests – we will be spending out days and evenings in the most amazing landscapes, not to mention all the wildlife including whales, puffins otters and eagles. This trip is timed around the peak of the killer whale viewing season. Plus, first rate lodging, Alaska Railroad and so much more. Follow the link for all the details.
Can you find the bat?
Can you find the bat? This was a bit of a lucky photo. Typically to capture bats you need a really fast camera trigger setup and this is usually accomplished by having the shutter open, and having the trigger connected directly to the flashes. Here, since I’m photographing slower moving mammals, I have the trigger connected to the camera. The bat should have been long out of the frame, but it must have circled back or something. Nice surprise!
More Fox!
Gray fox love to climb up on rocks, stumps and trees. Unfortunately, this one has walked right past this stump night after night as he comes in for a drink – that is until last night! Unfortunately his ears got blocked a little bit, but it is a start!
