I always made fun of my dad and all his lists, now is his turn to laugh back! I have lists everywhere! I have a thought and by the time I walk to the next room, bam, it’s gone! Packing my gear for any project or Adventure, I always, always consult my Gear Packing List. I have them printed out and on the wall next to the door of my gear locker. I can’t leave it without seeing them and I did that on purpose. Checklist assure that when I leave The Ranch, I have with me all the gear I need for that particular project. Not that I take everything on the list, but I read it line by line to mentally double check myself. I have additional lists for other accessories, personal gear and the business. And I’m real conscious to update when new gear comes in or old gear goes out. It’s a real simple thing that has saved my butt many, many times. The gear packing list.

Our Bird Photography Adventures travel to the greatest locations for birds in North American, Newfoundland, even Australia! We are in the right place at the right time to take advantage all that Mother Nature has to share with us. And I would love for YOU to join me in this pursuit! For example we’re in Australia in Sept ’22, St Johns June ’23 and our newly announced Adventure to Bolivar Flats, TX April ’23! So, what are our bird photography adventures like? Well …

They all evolve around you actually. They start long before we meet up in the field. Once you sign up, we’ll be in contact to answer your questions and get you excited to shoot. About a month prior to the Adventure, you’ll receive from me a packet of information about what you might see, gear you might want to use, techniques to practice and ideas to improve your photography. Then I pick you up from the airport and the Adventure begins. You might find yourself in a rainforest, on a sea bluff or lying in the sand face to face with a bird species you’ve never seen before. You get full use of my forty plus years as a birder and bird photographer to help your bird photography grow. And the whole time, you’ll be having fun as laughter is included on every Adventure. Click on the link above to learn more, or you can simply call Sharon 430 . 240. 3503 (9-5MST) and ask questions or better yet, sign up to join us. I hope you can, I’d love to shoot with you!

ProGrade has put out a great white paper on file recovery you should read. Personally, I have used and love their ProGrade Recovery Pro and this paper makes it real simple to use and understand the game.
