All my favorite photos from the Costa Rica trip in one blog post!

It has been a couple of days since returning from the rain forest of Costa Rica, and I have had a little bit of time to look back at all the photos and take it all in. It is so much fun to be a photographer and teacher, and to see the excitement in everyones faces as we hunted for the great shots and celebrated amazing sitings.

For all of you wondering what equipment I took to Costa Rica, here is my list:

* Canon 1D X Mark II
* Canon 5D Mark IV
* Canon 24-105mm II lens
* Canon 100-400mm II lens
* Canon 100mm macro lens
* Gitzo travel tripod
* Acratech ball head
* Black Rapid strap
* Thinktank rolling backpack
* Pro Grade Digital memory cards and readers
* 15" MacBook Pro
* Tiffen HT UV filters in front of my lenses

As opposed to previous Costa Rica trips where I blogged the photos broken up by the day, this time I have decided to do one blog post with all of my favorite photos from the trip. This gives you an idea of what we saw in the 9 days we were in the rain forest. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos as much as I did taking them!

On our first day, we took a walk around the resort and saw these Tiger heron chicks being tended by their mother. We went back on our last day and were amazed at how much the chicks had changed in one week.

While still walking about the property, we were lucky to have some Howler monkeys low in the branches to welcome us.

On our second day, we drove through the rain forest looking for interesting photo opportunities. This was a great one, with four owls all huddled together in this tree!

We also saw some Spider monkeys swinging through the trees above us.

This was our lunch stop on our second day in the rain forest. Not too shabby huh?

Even though we see many Scarlet macaw throughout the resort and on our drives, I am always looking for them to be down low in the trees and with their wings open. This one was nice enough to pose for us.

This Yellow-throated toucan was hanging out in the trees above our swimming pool and just begging for a portrait.

As we do on every one of my photo tours to Costa Rica, we visited a place where we could photograph the Red-eyed tree frogs and other cool reptiles in a more controlled environment. All the frog photos were taken with the Canon 5D Mark IV and the Canon 100mm macro lens.

I just never get tired of photographing these little wonders.

Look at how amazing those eyes are!

This time we had some larger frogs to photograph as well.

..,and a lizard.

We also had two other species of poisonous dart frogs, including this dark one who was sporting a nice orange racing stripe.

At one point, I decided to try and get this frog in action. I cranked up my ISO to 6400 and set my aperture to f/8 to get a shutter speed of 1/1600 second. I waited for the frog to jump and hit the shutter release. It took me many tries before I got the apex of the jump the way I wanted.

This is a Yellow eyelash viper. It is a poisonous snake, and we wanted to keep our distance, so we all used our long lenses to photograph this amazing creature. I shot this and the other snake photos with the Canon 1D X Mark II with the Canon 100-400mm lens.

Just to reiterate, these photos were taken in a controlled environment, with a naturalist by each snake and keeping them in a nice photographic place, but also safe for all of us.

Check out the amazing colors in this Eyelash viper.

These butterflies were a little less intimidating than the snakes, but equally fun to photograph around the property.

This is a Squirrel monkey grabbing a snack in a tree.

I saw this Great Curassow walking amongst the trees, got down low and shot this profile of him.

While visiting our favorite animal sanctuary (accessible only by boat), we all had a chance to photograph this Ocelot.

I had two favorite photos of this awesome cat.

We even had a chance to get up close and personal with this Two-toed sloth. I used the long zoom lens to isolate just the face and toes of the sloth.

On the boat ride back to Crocodile Bay, we saw some dolphins and some flying fish. I saw this flying fish cruising across the water and quickly fired some shots to see if I could get it in focus. I was excited when I downloaded the images and caught this one in perfect focus, and with the trail of water behind it.

Whenever we had free time at the resort, you could see individuals from our group walking the grounds to get nice shots like this.

This is one of my favorite photos from this trip, and it was taken about 20 feet from the swimming pool. One of my tour attendees was really into photographing birds and showed me images of this hummingbird with it's back wings spread out. I just had to capture this for myself. It took patience as I held the big camera and lens steady for a really long time, waiting for this moment. My back hurt afterwards, but it was worth it. I got the back wings spread out and the amazing color of the bird's throat!

I also managed to get a nice shot of the same hummingbird in flight, with it's back wings out.

Here are a couple of Scarlet macaw that were hanging out on the property.

Believe it or not, I took this photo of a lizard at the pool. It was up on a ledge by the hot tub, allowing me to shoot up on it and get greenery behind it.

On the second to last night, I asked our guides if they could find some more critters for us to photograph on the property. They went out and came back with a couple more reptiles for us to photograph. I brought some small LED lights with me, so that we could light the little subjects appropriately, and it yielded some really nice photos for everyone.

We were able to get really close to the frogs with our macro lenses.

Actually, so close that this little guy hopped onto my camera. Click on the image above (or click HERE) to watch the video.

It was our last full day in the rain forest and we were all preparing to load into the vehicles, heading out to a boat cruise on one of the local rivers. But before loading up, our guide spotted an Anteater in a nearby tree. I had only seen one other anteater in the region and was excited about the opportunity to see one once again. We all moved around the tree to see if we could get clear shots. At one point, I saw my subject in perfect back-light and framed by the leaves in the foreground. Got him!

The anteater was nice enough to roam around the tree, giving all of our guests ample opportunities to get a clean shot. This just made my day!

On our river cruise, we stopped to watch these White-faced monkeys as they dropped down into the water to cool off and for a drink. I was able to catch this shot with a nice reflection of the monkey's face in the water.

Most of us flew out from the local airport on Thursday at 9am. Some of us got up early to walk the grounds one last time. We walked to the spot where we normally find a couple of crocodiles in the water. As I approached that spot, I stopped short as I saw this big guy hanging out on the shore. We got a couple photos of him, before he got scared and backed into the water.

As you can see, the photo opportunities from this last trip were plentiful, with a wide variety of wildlife and landscapes. This is probably why National Geographic calls this location "the most biologically intense place on earth".

If you would like to get photos like these for yourself, join me for one of my upcoming trips to the Osa Peninsula. I take everyone from beginners to professional photographers. You can find information on those trips HERE.

Photos captured by my photo tour attendees in Costa Rica

A couple of days ago I got this idea to post my tour attendee's photos on the blog. They were sharing some of their favorite photos and I was so impressed that I wanted to share them all with you.

Keep in mind that there is not one professional photographer on this trip. These are all photo enthusiasts who are looking to learn and come home with great photos.

And with that, here are some of their images from the first couple of days here in Costa Rica. None of these images were taken by me.

The image above and below were taken by our beginner photographer. How about that?! She and her dad (and many others) are shooting with borrowed gear from Canon Professional Services. Here is a big shout out to CPS for their free loaners!

Great composition in this shot.

A favorite subject for many of my guests.

We have a couple of birders in the group, who are making the most of their time down here. This beautiful shot was taken by one of our Nikon shooters, but I won't hold that against her. :)

We have had great weather and continue to get more awesome photos. From what I have seen in the last two days, they have far surpassed even these photos. I am so proud of all of them!

Our local 4th of July celebration in Saratoga, CA

I just walked back to my house from our local park where they have an annual 4th of July celebration. This year I decided to go over there without my dog, but with my camera instead. I brought my Canon 1D X Mark II, 100-400mm lens and Canon 600 EX-RT flash. I thought I would share a handful of photos with you all. And for those of you who live in the USA or or are citizens abroad, Happy 4th of July to you all!

People come out to listen to the music and relax in the mild Northern California summer weather.

I saw Betsy Ross talking with Uncle Sam and had to get this shot.

I then asked Uncle Sam if I could get a portrait of him in the shade.

I also ran into Honest Abe and a cuter (and smaller) Betsy Ross.

I asked Betsy (Tabitha) if I could take her portrait, since she was my favorite subject at the celebration.

For a small town, they put on quite a nice celebration.

It was fun to see these guys in costume. They were not as cute as Tabitha, but...

I admire these guys for dressing up and being a part of this special day. They were also sought after by many of the attendees for portraits.

I hope you enjoyed my small view into our town's festivities.

What I want for my next cameras - Canon are you listening?

Today there are two cameras that I use every time I am on a job. Those are the Canon 1D X Mark II and Canon 5D Mark IV. Both are excellent cameras which have served me really well, but that does not mean that I don't want even more from my cameras.

It has been more than 3 years since Canon announced the top of the line 1D X Mark II (Feb 1, 2016) and almost 3 years since they announced the popular workhorse 5D Mark IV (Aug 25, 2016). As I mentioned, both are great cameras, but with the release of the R Series cameras and lenses Canon has whet my appetite.

As I wrote when the first R Series mirrorless camera came out, there were certain features which looked incredible, but that camera and the subsequent model were not designed for photographers like me. What I saw in those cameras was Canon innovating and designing a camera line for the future. But now comes the big question...when do I get the cameras I want?

Notice that I did not say one camera, I said cameras with an "s". That is because I really want two new models that can replace both the current 1D and the 5D models.


A NEW FLAGSHIP CAMERA

For the high-end pro model, I want to see Canon design a camera body with the following features:

Two high speed memory card slots

I would LOVE to see two slots for the new CFexpress cards. This would allow us photographers and videographers the ability to write to both cards at blazing speeds. For those of you not familiar with CFexpress, these are very fast memory cards that can read and write around 1500 MBs. That is 3 times faster than today's CFast cards and 15 times faster than CF cards. With these cards, I would be able to download almost 100GB per minute to my computer! I really expect this to be the high speed card format of the near future.

In the past, Canon has been reluctant to introduce a camera with two new card slots since this requires us photographers to purchase all new memory cards, but I hope they get aggressive this time around. If Canon does not put two of these slots in the camera, my second choice would be to have one of the CFexpress slots and one high speed SD card slot.

CFexpress cards from Pro Grade Digital

More focusing points 

The current 1D X Mark II does have a lot of focusing points, but I would LOVE to have focusing points from edge to edge. Or at very least, a lot closer to the edge than we have today. Due to the limitation of today's cameras, I do a lot of focus and recomposing (achieving focus on a point close to where I want my focus to be, and then moving the camera to get the composition I want).

Even cleaner images at high ISO  

When people ask me why I upgrade my camera bodies so often, my answer usually revolves around the high ISO capabilities. I shoot a lot of events in dark temples and churches (where flash is not allowed) and am always craving even cleaner images at ISO 3200 and above. Even though I have never had a client complain about digital noise in my photos, Until camera companies can get high ISO images at low ISO qualities, this will always be on my wish list.

Lighter weight

With the advent of mirrorless cameras, we have seen smaller and lighter cameras entering the marketplace. But my camera of choice is still the big and heavy Canon 1D X Mark II. This beast can achieve focus really fast, burst images out at 14 frames per second (if needed), write to two fast card slots, and take a beating. If I could get all this in a smaller and lighter camera body, my back would really appreciate it.

Quieter shutter

The Canon 1D is designed for photo journalists, sports and wildlife photographers and other professionals who require a frame rate of 14 fps. The shutter was designed for speed, not designed to be a silent. But there are times when I use this camera during a religious service and the silent mode isn't silent enough.

Built in WiFi (and Bluetooth)

I know it is hard to believe, but even though the Canon 1D X Mark II is the top of the line DSLR for Canon, it does not have built-in WiFi. Yes, the 5D Mark IV and many of the other Canon cameras have it, but not the 1D. So this should be a given, but I want this feature for sure. And adding Bluetooth for image transfer to a phone would be nice too.


A NEW HIGHER-END MIRRORLESS CAMERA

As I mentioned at the beginning of this blog post, Canon teased me with the original announcement of the R Series camera. I love the new lens mount, the new lenses, the clarity of the viewfinder and the customization of the camera. But as great as it sounded, there were a couple of features which kept this camera out of my camera bag. It is these areas that I want to see improved so that I can take advantage of all the positives of the R series.

Two memory card slots

The first two R Series cameras from Canon only had one memory card slot, and this is a deal breaker for me. When I shoot images for clients, I ALWAYS shoot images to both card slots. This protects me from a memory card corruption and potential data loss. In order for me to use the new mirrorless cameras from Canon I NEED two memory card slots. Unlike the top-end camera, the next R series camera does not need to have a CFexpress slot (although that would be pretty cool). My guess is that Canon would include two SD card slots (and darn it - they better be UHS-II for the fastest transfer rates this time!)  I think they would use SD cards since CompactFlash cards are pretty much dead now and the CFexpress cards might be overkill for this camera. Either way, just give me two slots!

Fast I/O Servo focusing

While the current R Series mirrorless camera from Canon does have edge to edge focus points, I found that the I/O Servo (follow) focus was not very responsive, rendering the camera less than ideal for sports and wildlife photography. I am hoping that Canon can take advantage of the extra connecting points between the camera body and lens to provide a very fast and accurate follow focus on the next model.

Better battery life

I love that with both of my current cameras. I can shoot almost all day without changing a battery. The first two R Series cameras show an expected battery life between 350-450 photos. Yikes! I suspect that with all the electronics inside the mirrorless camera and the electronic viewfinder, that this takes a lot of battery power. I love that Canon used the same LP-E6 battery that we all own and love, but I would like to have more images per battery than what today's model provides.

Joystick

Both the 1D and the 5D have a joystick for moving focal points, and I have come to rely on this little interface. One of the first things I noticed about the R Series camera is that this was missing. I understand that typical camera consumers may not care about this, but myself and other professional photographers sure do.

I know that Canon is going to be doing a lot more with mirrorless cameras because their executives talked publicly about this very subject in this Imaging Resource interview.

TIMING

I have no inside knowledge of what Canon is doing in Japan, or when they will release their next cameras. But if history is any indicator of the future, the next 6-10 months will likely be very interesting. Why is that? Because the Summer Olympics are in one year and all the big camera companies announce their flagship products for this big event. Not only is this the typical 4 year cycle for the pro cameras, but this next Olympics is in Tokyo - right in the backyard of Canon, Nikon and Sony!

I already have my credentials approved for the 2020 Summer Olympics. All I can do now is cross my fingers and hope that Canon delivers most of the things that I dream for. If all goes well, I will be shooting with both of these dream cameras this time next year or sooner.


A HYBRID OF BOTH?

As I finished writing this, it occurred to me that at some point I can see both of these "wish list" features being integrated into one camera. How great would it be for Canon to have a high-end mirrorless camera with these features?

* Small and light body (but with a professional build)
* Two CFexpress card slots
* Silent
* Super fast frame rate
* Edge to edge focal points
* Fast auto focus in all modes
* High capacity batteries
* Weather sealed
* 4K Video

YOUR WISH LIST?

Feel free to comment and let me know what you would add to the list.

Come join me on a Photo Tour next year - See the best of India, Scotland, Ireland, Costa Rica, and Japan!

Next year is going to bring something totally different for my photo tours. For the first time in years, I will not be leading any trips to Africa in 2020 (since it is an Olympic year and I will be photographing the Games during much of the summer). But instead, we have chosen to lead groups to other places which offer amazing photo opportunities that don't conflict with the Olympics.

Along with my two trips to Costa Rica next year, I will be joining M&M Photo Tours as their Guest Pro to teach photography in India, Scotland, Ireland and Japan.  And the good news is...all of these trips are a go! This means that we already have them at least half sold out. This also means that, if you would like to join us on one or more of these awesome trips, you need to let us know soon.

And here is a BIG bonus: Due to my partnership with Canon, if you sign up for any of my photo tours, you can borrow just about any Canon camera gear you would want (cameras, lenses, flash) at no cost for the duration of the trip!

Here is where we are going:

Two new presentations at B&H Photo next week

Next Tuesday I will be back at B&H Photo in New York for two new presentations.

The first presentation will talk about how I use Photoshop to "finish" my images. The second presentation will show you my images from numerous trips to the rain forest of Costa Rica, and talk about the process of capturing these images.

If you live in the area, come by and watch live. If you want to register for the events, you can do so HERE. If you are not local to the NY area, both will be live-streamed and eventually put on YouTube.

And thanks to Datacolor and Canon for sponsoring these!

I hope to see you there.

Is the new Apple Mac Pro the best choice for photographers?

Finally, after many years of waiting, I was happy to see that Apple just announced a new Mac Pro computer. I have been (and still am) using the 2013 model of the Mac Pro and have been waiting for this Apple announcement for years. But, now that Apple has announced all the details, the big questions are:

* Does the power of this computer justify the cost?
* Is this the best computer for photographers?

Before continuing this blog post (and what is probably fairly obvious since the computer is not even out yet) I should say that I have not actually tried the new Mac Pro and I am basing this blog post on all the specs and information that Apple announced today. But having used Macs for 15 years and knowing the technical ins and outs, I am able to make some pretty confident conclusions here.

Lets start with the base price of the new Mac Pro. This computer is going to start at $6000, which will get you an 8-core Intel Xeon processor, 32GB of memory and a 256GB solid state drive. These specs are OK for photographers, but I would never recommend a 256GB SSD and would suggest a minimum of 512GB. This will likely put the price at approximately $6500.

And then, of course, you will need to purchase a monitor. Apple's new 6K monitor looks simply amazing, but will set you back another $5000. Yikes! I am currently using a Samsung 32" 4K monitor, which is no longer current, but you can find this model for only $600 at B&H. Since I don't see myself ever spending $5000 on a monitor, I figure I am looking at a starting price of $7100 to get the new Mac with a third party display.

So...looking at this price vs performance, my first thought was to compare this new Mac to an iMac or iMac Pro.

On Apple's web site, they show this speed comparison for a task done in Adobe Photoshop CC

The first thing I notice is that Apple is running this test using "faster processing of well-threaded filters". What the heck is that? Having spend 20+ years in marketing at technology companies, I can assume that Apple looked for the the most processor intensive tasks to show off the new computer. But I don't know that I have ever run a "well-threaded filter" and would love to know if my everyday tasks in Photo Mechanic and Adobe Photoshop will be faster. And the second thing I noticed is that Apple is doing the comparison of the older Mac Pro, iMac Pro to the new Mac Pro with all 28 cores! I have no idea what the 28-core Mac Pro will sell for, but I am guessing that it will run a minimum of $10,000. I have even seen heard that a full configured 28-core Mac Pro could cost as much as $50,000.

So all this leads me to look at the prices of similarly configured iMac computers.

* A 2019 model 8-core iMac Pro with 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X GPU, and a 27" 5K monitor can be found at B&H for $5699. Here is the link to that configuration

* An 2019 model 8-core iMac with 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 GPU and a 27" 5K monitor can be found at B&H for $4500. Here is the link to that configuration

And I should point out that having more cores in your processor does not necessarily mean that you will get a ton more speed out of photo editing tasks in programs like Photoshop. Those cores are going to be way more important to the person editing 4K or 8K video or rendering 3D graphics or large animations.

All of these computers have expansion ports (like Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C), so connecting other drives is a simple process. I choose to store only the operating system and applications on the internal drive of the computer, and keep all of my photos and documents on my Drobo 8D.

Some people are interested in the aesthetics of their computers, and the new Mac Pro looks like an updated version of the older "Cheese grater" computer I used 8 years ago. It is pretty interesting looking, but I may still be partial to the all-in-one design of the iMac for a good clean look on the desk.

My last point may seem silly to many of you, but looking at the massive power supply of the new Mac Pro, my first thought was about the heat output from this beast. Having used older computers and monitors in the past, I know that they could increase the temperature of my studio dramatically.

Is this new Mac Pro the best choice for professional photographers? I guess it really depends on how much money you have to spend and what tasks you are typically performing. None of these are inexpensive solutions, but this should give you some things to think about before buying your new Mac desktop.
