  • I watched an adorable Day Gecko enjoy a little snack this afternoon in Madagascar. These colorful creatures are so much fun to observe and photograph. Madagascar is full of them! #igreels #reelitfeelit #wildlifephotography #macrophotography #macromood
  • There is something truly majestic about photographing a Bald Eagle in flight! I found this juvenile (which explains why their head isn't fully white) up in Haines, Alaska for the final salmon run of the season. Be sure to swipe left to see the full resolution of this amazing bird! Taken with a Sony a1 w/ 600mm f/4 GM #sonyartisan #sonyambassador #sonyalpha @sonyalpha #birdsofinstagram #birdlovers #birdlife
  • This is the Red Eyes Green Tree Frog, arguably the most popular frog on the planet thanks to the increase of tourism to Costa Rica where these guys (& gals) can be fairly common. Have you seen one before? Be sure to swipe left to see the other images... Taken with the Sony a1 w/ 90mm f/2.8 Macro Lens. #sonyartisan #sonyambassador @sonyalpha
  • An adorable baby Helmeted Chameleon found in the jungles of Eastern Uganda. Taken with a Sony a1 w/ 90mm f/2.8 Macro Lens #sonyambassador #sonyartisan @sonyalpha
  • A Jaguar gets an early morning drink just after sunrise along the banks of a river in the Pantanal region of Brazil. They are definitely one of my favorite large cats on the planet! Sony a1 w/ 600mm f/4 GM #sonyalpha #sonyartisan #sonyambassador
  • The train Cemetery in Uyuni, Bolivia is an incredible destination for astro photographers to get creative. The skies are so dark in this region that you can get Milky Way photos even as the approaching sunrise begins to lighten up the horizon. What an amazing destination! Be sure to swipe left to see the full image and all it's details. Sony a1 w/ 14mm f/1.8 GM #sonyalpha #sonyambassador @sonyalpha
  • When it comes to wildlife photography, nothing on the planet can match the incredible experience of seeing Silverback Gorillas in the wild. These magnificent creatures have made a massive turnaround from almost going extinct in the early 90s to a healthy and growing population of over 1,200 individuals (between Uganda, Rwanda, and the Congo). I just wrapped up my annual Uganda Wildlife Workshop, and my clients had several incredible photo opportunities with these animals. Is photographing Gorillas on your bucket list?

  • I think it is safe to say that the Fennec Fox is one of the cutest animals on the planet. These large eared mammals are found in Northern Africa in the deserts of the Western Sahara. Their large ears help them not only listen for prey, but also stay cool in the intense heat found in the region. Be sure to swipe to the left to see the full image!

  • A female leopard enjoys a late afternoon rest in a tree found in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. What I love about this image that was shot with a Sony a1 and the 400mm f/2.8 GM lens is that I had to use a high ISO of 10,000 because light was fading as we were quickly approaching dusk. But between the high ISO performance of the a1 and the advances in AI based noise reduction options via 3rd party software, the results still come out incredibly sharp and clean. What software do you use for noise reduction? #sonyambassador #sonyalpha @sonyalpha
