"Costa Rica is a magical place, especially for hummingbirds. Ray Barlow took us on a photography workshop that showcased many of these beautiful hummingbirds, as well as other natural wonders that make up a tropical paradise. Ray was quick to share his knowledge in photographing many different species of birds that we encountered. He also gave us an intimate look at the life and people of Costa Rica. We had a great time!"

I have been out with Ray on five different occasions shooting images of raptors. Ray provides excellent assistance and instruction in all aspects of creating wonderful images – camera settings, composition, light, as well as post-production processing to maximize image quality. Ray has an easy and calm approach to his mentor-ship, and demonstrates excellent ethics in his interactions with wildlife. I have been with Ray while standing for hours in snowy, cold conditions waiting for owls to move from a more distant perch to a better vantage for photography – never interfering with the owls’ natural behaviour. Some of my best wildlife images have been taken while on one my photo tours with Ray. The best rating that I can give to Ray is that I know I will be out with him again shooting wildlife, either close to home or at more distant locations.
David Sparks I went on Ray's 2010 photo tour to Newfoundland. The scenery was beautiful and the wildlife photography was unforgettable. The highlights were photographing the Orcas that had killed a Minke whale in Witless Bay and the amazing Gannet colony at Cape St. Mary's Ecological Seabird Reserve. Based on my extremely positive experience during the Newfoundland photo tour, I went on Ray's 2011 trip to Tanzania for yet another amazing photographic adventure Hopefully I will be able to join him again on one of his tours to the spectacular places he visits. Additional photos taken on these two trips are posted on my website.
