What a fun day we had! Maria and I out on the pier freezing and shooting! I hope she will process one of her shots soon, she did well!
So I am getting ready for Ecuador and Africa, so much to learn about this camera, and little time to sharpen up my skills. Great fun, high tech at its best, and so interesting.
Thanks to buddy George Juraj Nagy for the help and the confidence needed for making the switch from Nikon., wow!
Thanks to Patrick Ng at Downtown Camera for so much help with this purchase! good guy!

A7r4 is something else! Thanks to Patrick Ng for all the help at Downtown Camera, Patrick Ng was awesome to get me going on this machine before I left the store! He spent over an hour we me, with lots of details!
So yesterday a pm from my buddy Tim Story gave me a lead on our owl here, so Maria and I headed out with Daisy after her work, and we got things set up to shoot using my Jobu Algonquin tripod, and we were off and running when this tiny owl popped up to have a visit with us. Quite the amazing little creature, not much bigger then a pop can.
Maria and I went through all the settings, amazing and fun learning this new rig. Soooooo advanced compared to a dslr. A techies dream! At first, it is a bit overwhelming, but chip away at it, and one step at a time it will be set up, and memorized.
I am thrilled with the 100-400GM, killer sharp, and easy to work with!

A long time coming, first it was buddy Jack Rogers with his Sony gear, then George Nagy, then Alex Phan and Sha Lu, all posting awesome images with Sony Gear. Finally I got tired of all the weight, and soft-ish images and went to the new Sony 100-400GN, and the A7r4 camera, and wow, what a change!! Love this gear, and we have just met!
Thanks to all you guys for the education. Also, my friends at Downtown Camera, in Toronto. Superb service and amazing people., George Campbell my long time friend who will join me in Africa for the 3rd time in February, and one of the best customer service reps I know of, Mr. Patrick Ng. Man, he was awesome with so much help, and a very friendly attitude... superb fellow, highly recommended.
Check out their new store on Queen St. East.

The osprey were fun, lots of Catfish on the menu. Looks like good tasting in a way! This trip is a crazy long day, usually over 20 hours! But if anyone wants to go, I am up for another try!

A fun night out with Maria, visiting friends up near Cornwall - Bruce Kennedy and Roger Daigle, along with this superb Osprey Family. 2 Adults, and three chicks, (almost fledglings) as all five of these birds were very entertaining.
Some rain, some distant lightening, a bunch of laughs, and a long drive home at the end of the day. We hope to pay another visit within the next week. 100's of pics to filter through, I hope Maria will post one of her images soon., I think she did well.

Incredible Tanzania
Every tour, for 6 trips now, we spend one day in the Ngorongoro Crater. This last trip was no exception. Brilliant opportunities, including this amazing African savanna hare.
It stood still for a few minutes, and so close to our safari vehicle. So amazing that our guide spotted this beautiful animal. Almost frozen, we had time to capture a nice low iso image, and sharp. good enough for a heavy crop!
I am looking forward to heading back in 2020 with buddy chad Barry co-hosting, and bringing a bunch of his friends. 10 guests in total, with 2 photo guides! Should be excellent!
A truly spectacular place to be creative with your camera and editing!

Another visit to my favourite nest, not far from Toronto Canada. This wonderful female hummingbird is raising 2 chicks here in the nest. the location is right along side of a walking path, so she is undisturbed by people.
It's funny, how every time she leaves the nest, immediately, she fly's over to me and my camera for a visit. I wave at her, and say Hi! as she hovers over my head. The last time we had such an encounter, she was about 3 feet away. Just curious I am sure. Amazing real-nature moment, something I will never forget.

Nasty birds in a way, as they will take advantage of open sores on a zebra, and make them worse by feeding on their blood! In the Ngorongoro Crater we are able to see these animals and birds so close, they wander over to the roadside to feed, as they are not disturbed by the safari truck!!
Oxpeckers will clean the ticks and bugs too, so for the most part they are helpful to these animals. And they make for some interesting images too!

With Pops in the background grazing, and Mom on watch protecting from the Lions, and ever present Hyenas, this Zebra family seems to be doing very well.
Young colts have exceptional amounts of energy soon after they are born. They run and play and can be so much fun to watch, showing sheer happiness with their newfound freedom.
The Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania will always provide a memorable experience, one that you will remember for a lifetime.

A pair of young lions doing the Nasty!
They did not mind our intrusion, so we watched and photographed about 6 mating encounters over the course of about 1.5 hours. This image was cut to about 10% of the full frame to show the expression on the males face.
Conversely, the female had a very indifferent look on her face, almost looking boarded! (until she had had enough!). February is a superb time to visit these lions, we saw at least 20 encounters with several pair of lions.
Very amazing!

Welcome to the Crater!
This is a difficult thing to explain- how amazing is this tour to Tanzania. Around every tree, hill, or valley there is something awesome to see and photograph.
To say I love Africa, and all the wonder of nature is an understatement. We can only learn how to appreciate what we have by going to this place, then come back on a mission to preserve and protect the nature in this crazy world we live in.
Currently, I have 3 programs planned, 1 mentioned below, the other 2 with a tour company from Australia. I am really looking forward to all three tours.
Chad Barry and I are looking forward to our team effort to Tanzania, with only a couple of spots left open at this point. We hope to get this tour set in stone by the end of July, then move forward to booking flights.
Superb and incredible real nature and wildlife like you cannot imagine.

We followed a cheetah (back in 2011)! as she was hunting in the south of the Serengeti, as she was the first animal we saw after leaving the camp at 6:00 am... withing 500 yards of our coffee tent!
After her long trek through the bush, she cam to a tree out in the open to rest, maybe 2 hours later. She then stayed pretty still while watching for prey to walk by. We could tell she was hungry judging by the narrow waistline.
I asked the guide if it was ok to get out of the truck, and get down under the truck for a low angle shot. He said no problem! My head was against the muffler while I prepared for her to get up, but she didn't move, and she didn't even notice I was there, only 25 yards away!
So I fired a few shots to see if I could get her attention, and wow! did it work! She came over for a look, and I was amazed! I may have fired 40 frames, then decided to get up, and back into the truck.. she moved on.
Cheetahs are not aggressive with humans, they are known to be very gentle, and much like a dog with their attitude. Even known to walk into a camp, and lay down beside a fire, with people present.
What a brilliant animal.

South Texas was hot! and humid, but I was able to find a small garden with some shade, and a bit of a breeze. 4 trips to this park, and about 15 hours of hard "work" trying to catch a few descent images of some hummingbirds.
The heat was a bit overwhelming for me, so I had to take a few breaks, and work shorter days then usual.. but wow, was it fun and challenging. These "ruby's" are crazy difficult to catch in low light conditions. The 400mm f2.8 would have been the ticket to success here! (next time!)
Overall I am happy with a few shots., and looking forward to a return trip in better climate. From what I hear, November is excellent for the raptors migration south, so lets go!

3 trips south to see this nest in the last 2 weeks, good fun, awesome opportunity.
Daisy and Maria tagged along for this one, unfortunately the clouds were just a little too heavy. This one took some processing, much more then I am used to, but in the end, I am happy with the shot.
This branch is about 25 yards away from the nest, and getting a clear view though all the twigs is difficult at best. Soon the leaves will be in full form, and the fun will be over!

A long trip south to a valley with a nest.
The young eaglets are an excellent size to photograph with adult parents tending to their needs. An amazing and spectacular scene to watch, observe, and photograph.
Using the 200-400 mm on a full frame D850 body, a very nice combination to work with. The pixel depth of the D850 really helps with the reach.
I would say with the extensive crop on this image, the equivalent lens reach would be about 800 mm. Decent quality, still able to print very large if needed.
What a brilliant opportunity, thanks a good friend for the help in locating this nest.
