    Greath Shots there, Jon. I know it must have been hard to pick from all the images you have taken! Some very interesting critters there.


    Thanks for sharing

    Thanks very much! It is really an amazing shooting gallery out there... so much to choose from. I forgot to mention my experience with carry-on baggage. One of the things I was most worried about was how I was going to get all my equipment on board, without having to check anything fragile. I used a Think Tank "Airport Addicted 2.0" bag, which is the largest legal carry-on bag you can buy. It has backpack straps rather than wheels, to maximize internal space. It was way overweight (35 pounds) and I was ready to pull out a couple items if I had to. But it never got weighed, on any of the 6 flights we did. I just made sure to line up in front when the plane was boarding, to ensure I could find space to put the bag overhead. After that it was not a problem at all.

    Such amazing pictures, I really love them. My favourite one is the juvenile Galapagos hawk, allthough the Sally Lightfoot Crab (munching on a caterpillar) comes in really close. You made me jealous in two ways: I want to go there too, and I want your gear. (And yes, ofcourse a girl that will carry a tripod). What did it took you to make her do that?
