Hi Buster Actually it was rainin heavy yesterday; mind you its only rained 5 times since last May!!!! We watch UK TV and obviously can see Plymouth is under water.... Rich

Whoa Suddenly an EMailo about that Plymouth meet so long ago; Hi Buster, Wile hows it going. Me, Im still in Portugal..... Rich

Thats a bit of a defunct section lol Yes indeed I use a 40D with 100-400 + Canon 1.4 TC II I used a fix so autofocus works pretty well. BTW you can see lots of pics by following the "buy print" link (there is a link back to the blog) bear in mind the Costa Rican shots were taken before I had learned much so some are pretty awful compared to my shots now. Thanks for readingf the blog hope you find it informative

Hi Andy nice to hear from you and thanks for posting on the blog; I hope it gives a feel for the places we travel let me know if you need any advice/links Rich

Hi GUYS Yep too many jungle trails lol back in UK for whats left of the summer, then back to Costa Rica prob late August Do you guys not read the blog? Still doin my wildlife photography heres a Bellbird:) Rich

Hows all just back from Panama! more wildlife pics lol Rich

Oh Hi Michael well was just a pic from local area while Im here; not a very exciting subject; just practice in exposure/feather details etc.Hers a head crop to show, you can see the light was harsh and to the left so not ideal. bear in mind some loss of quality to post here. Birds are a real challenge; perhaps one of the hardest to get right. One of the best forums to see the incredible results people achieve is http://www.birdphotographers.net, have a look, awesome wildlife work. my pics are at http://www.coati.smugmug.com also flickr stream at http://www.flickr.com/tamandu nice to hear from you Rich

Hi Ed miss the Supra - well to be honest, sometimes, but the adrenaline rush I get when the Discovery does 5 miles without an issue is adequate compensation lol Im only around for 3 months in the year now so Supra wud be a mistake Life is interesting; have seen many things, mostly good I have to say, and looking forward to more. I'm really not happy about the UK but circumstances mean I have to be here till January. I then plan to get to the Amazon. My passion for wildlife drives me on, and I have been studying the technicalities of w/photography hard. We are both at our happiest out in the wild places, though this does cost a lot. I am hoping to be eaten by an anaconda just before the money runs out lol. take care Rich

Have a good day Tom; my daughter gets married 22 Nov -- eek got to right my speech lol Hi Ed hows it going? blimey 21000 posts lol, Suprastar indeed nice to hear from you, take care Rich
