2013 has been another great year for bird photography. I had a pretty busy workshop schedule this year and found that I did not do much domestic shooting this year as I needed a break between the trips. This year I took 5 trips to Ecuador, Costa Rica, Arizona, Peru and Brazil and managed to come home with a few keepers. 2013 has also been a great year for publishing my work. I came out with 3 new books. The first was the Ebook "The Guide to Tropical Nature Photography" that is an instructional guide to photography in the challenging tropical environment. The second was "Birds of British Columbia" a coffee table book that I am very proud of. The third book was "Post Processing: A Guide for Nature Photographers" which is also an Ebook and discusses the way in which I process my digital images. Please check them out at the links below.
I hope you enjoy this gallery of the best of 2013! |
