    A Brown Pelican Portrait

    Pelicans were my first bird subjects to photograph. Easy to learn bird photography - no need for exotic lenses or skills. These were shot in 2006 with a Nikon D200.

    I always look for contrasting colors in flowers. Not sure if it is an accident or intentional, in a farm in Skagit, I always find a different colored tulip in a row of tulips. I grabbed 5 shots past April. Here is one. 3-image focus stack as I believe the focal length I used was 350mm.

    Botswana Elephant Procession

    I went on a Thom Hogan workshop to Botswana in 2013. At the end of the morning shoot in Moremi Game Reserve, our guide/driver suggested we stop at a spot and wait for an additional 30-45 minutes while the rest of the folks returned to the camp for lunch. He had anticipated that the elephants...
