Flying Puffin!

There was a time when photographing puffin in flight was almost impossible – it took lots of attempts and practice. I am amazed with the subject tracking capabilities of the Olympus OM-1 coupled with the 150-400 f4.5. Even with busy backgrounds – It made photographing flying puffin fun! Was able to capture photos with puffing flying straight at the camera. This was from my first week, had even better success the following week.

Spring Cubs!

This was from day one of two amazing back to back Alaska Bear Photo Tours! So much great action! We had two sows with sets up spring cubs – Agro seen here with triplets, but a second sow with twins who arrived the same day I did. One of the guides joked that spring cubs seem to always arrive when I do, and it does seem like it. Plus a sow with a third summer cub and at the end of the trip we had a sow with second summer triplets. Plus, so much more!
