Going Old School

When I made my switch to bird photography in 2006, I also made my switch to digital. That's when I bought a Canon EOS 20D (still one of the best cameras Canon has ever made for us bird photographers).

So I never used film for my bird images. Until now. I just got my hands on a Canon A2 film camera. By the end of July I'll be photographing birds in film, going old school.

Stay tuned for that one!

Bobolinks

Thanks to an article from the Plain Dealer, I visited the site where the Richfield Coliseum use to be. In its place are acres and acres of land. On that land are a good number of Bobolinks and other birds. I arrived a little after 6am on 6/9/2012.

The question was, where do I setup? I picked a spot in the field where there were growth a little higher than the rest of the field. This would give me a great shot and separation when a Bobolink would land. It took lots of patience, but I did get a few nice shots during the 3 hours I was there.

Kirtland Bird Club Presentation

Completed my Birds are People Too slide presentation for the Kirtland Bird Club on June 6. There was a wonderful turnout, at least 24 people were in attendance. Everyone was fantastic and friendly. Sold a few copies of my books afterwards. I was even asked to sign one, which I'm always honored to do, but I never know what to say :) Thankfully, the lady did :)

Eve of Kirtland Bird Club Presentation

Well, its the eve of my presentation at the Kirtland Bird Club. My first one of the year. I think I've swapped images dozens of times in just the past day alone.

Also tested my projector just in case there isn't one there. Everything worked fine...until I dropped it. But it seems okay.

Its so cool to see my images larger than life.
