Full Frame VS APS-C Camera Sensors
I am occasionally involved in discussions about which sensor format is better. Full frame or APS-C? It continues to be my opinion that they are equal if the photo sites are essentially the same size and the manufacturing technology is essentially equal. That is to say that a 16mp APS-C sensor is the equal in […]
Winter in Iceland
February 22 through 28, 2015 was a week of mixed hurricane force wind, white out driving conditions, rain and attendant cloudy skies. But it was also a photo adventure where 11 of us from the east coast and south and an Icelandic guide photographed ice caves, glaciers, ice burgs on black sand beach, one […]
Bird photography workshop
A while back I mentioned that I may hold a bird photography workshop in spring 2015. I know it is a bit late to post it here but I will be presenting a short program titled “A Brief Introduction to Bird Photography” on 19 March at the Greater New Orleans Camera Club regular meeting. The […]
Loosing Ground
This is a post that is very different from most I have done. It is not about photography, travel, birding or any of my other adventures. It is about the loss, the accelerating loss of land in South East Louisiana. I spend a lot of time in the costal marshes and have been aware of […]

Option 1.- is either ½ or a full day workshop that would include a few hours in a classroom and the remaining time in the field photographing birds. The birds will be gulls. Option 2.- is […]

This is a brief post. It is a revolution for me and I wanted to pass it on to others who are interested in some information that allows us to go beyond casual photography. I just found a smart phone app that does all of the things I have a fair number of apps to […]

Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are a wonderful place to visit any time of the year. However, if you can travel as you wish I suggest you visit there in May as the animals and landscape begin to wake after a long winter and in late September-early October when the animals and the landscape […]
The last Pygmy Owl post for this year.
Ruth and I went to the San Miguelito Ranch again because we heard that the Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl chicks had fledged and we might be able to see them together out of the nest box. We got there about 3 days later. They were still there but were more comfortable with the world and […]
