No specific plans, but a general goal to get out for more birding this year. Will certainly have a few business trips, one likely to Argentina.

Should be an opportunity to meet that goal in the next 24 hrs.



I read several tutorials about using black velvet, creating custom snowflake shooting tables, etc. But I ended up using something far more expensive, but more readily available – a tinted window on my wife's Honda Pilot. Just go out in light snow with macro lens and flash, run a gloved hand over the dark glass, which clears the surface and warms it just slightly, enough so flakes will stick. Then shoot, shoot, shoot...
