Thanks for all the emails asking if I were still alive. It’s been a while since I’ve posted and with a couple of posts disappearing, many have asked. We were in the process of moving to a whole new server farm and with all the websites and all the content, getting everything moved, new databases established took days. That’s why some posts disappeared, I posted on the old site after the database was moved. So all is well here.
The past week we’ve been on the TX coast looking for and photographing birds. To be honest, it was a challenge! Some of the old locales which use to be so shorebird and wader rich were literally no more than dirt lots! Numbers on the beaches were well down as well. We found birds and had a great time, but it simply wasn’t the same. Above is a flock of spring skimmers that were hanging out. Love watching them fly, such a great nature pattern on the wing. mtc

Control perspective, focus and depth of field like never before with the first NIKKOR PC lens that can be tilted parallel or perpendicular to shift. (Depending on the combination of shift and rotation, operation may be restricted by mechanical interference between the lens and the camera). Its ultra-wide 19mm angle of view and superb image quality make it ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, interiors, panoramas and fine art photography and filmmaking. Bend perspective to match your vision.
The new benchmark for fast telephoto zoom lenses, and a powerhouse for low—light, sports, wildlife, concerts, weddings, portraits, and everyday shooting. With improvements across the board—optical formula, handling, weather sealing, and VR image stabilization-this is truly a dream lens for pros, hobbyists, FX and DX shooters alike.

For the last two decades, my trusted Eagle Creek Monster Trunk has been with me. Traveling nearly 1.7 million miles, visiting 6 continents being in trains and planes, airboats and helicopters, small skiffs and truck, it has served me and my gear faithfully all these years. It has gone back to Eagle Creek a couple of times for TLC repairs but this last trip to AK was its last, it took a fatal blow. Thankfully, Eagle Creek has another trunk now, the ORV 36 (on the left) to take its place. I use lots of Eagle Creek gear so know it will serve me and my gear well for years to come. You’re probably wondering what camera gear goes in my check in. Everything except camera bodies and lenses, that’s a lot! I’ll miss my old friend though and look forward to making a new one.
