We had a blast even considering temperatures were unseasonably low, dipping well below freezing. The trip was timed to take advantage of the new moon in order to get in some great night photography. Those who joined me took full advantage of the dark skies to take som

This past weekends Sea Otter Photo Tour in Monterey, California was a lot of fun! Those in attendance had access to photograph Sea Otters and the other wildlife in the area that few get to experience.

The three hours of uninterrupted wildlife photography with the ability to call on the expe
