Cañón del Sabino

No witty title, just pictures and more pictures from the canyon with the military macaw colony. I want to go back with a tripod and really get started at 5am to see the big movement of the birds first thing as they exit the canyon. And, yes, I know that a tripod won’t really help […]

Or, two birds at a time

I have to post one now, because the full set will take a few days to edit. Amazing weekend with the military macaws (guacamayas verdes/ara militaris). Ok, maybe 2 right now. Well, I’ve got 3 edited, so I might as well put them all up. Also, I’m afraid these are the best ones. I have […]

One bird at a time

After the fair in Puebla last Friday, I joined the local birders on a day trip to the La Malinche National Park. We had a nice walk through a wooded barranca. Wooded was the key word, and even with the big lens I didn’t end up with so many good pictures. The flowers and butterflies […]

Big sized fun

Or, fun with a macro lens in California, part one. It takes so long to edit pictures. All I have done right now is like a tenth of the bird pics and this one. So, this one will have to do as a placeholder while I keep editing.

A new day

From Isla Isabel, Nayarit. I finally got around to assembling the time-lapse video. It’s been a pretty quiet week otherwise. Busy, but quiet. [vimeo http://vimeo.com/41466873 w=500&h=400] Apparently I bumped the camera a couple of times. Still, for a first attempt at time-lapse video and manually timing each shot, I’m happy.
