  • A beautiful Yellow Eyelash Pit Viper found in the jungles of Costa Rica. Such a beautiful creature! Sony a1 w/ 90mm f/2.8 Macro #SonyAlpha #sonyambassador
  • The Collared Aracari is one beautiful bird that is part of the Toucan family. Have you seen one of these in Costa Rica before? Sony a7R V w/600mm f/4 GM #sonyalpha #sonyambassador #birdstagram #birdsphotography #birdsofinstagram
  • A close-up look at the "Phantom of the North", the Great Grey Owl. Sony a1 II w/ 600mm f/4 + 1.4 TC plus Topaz Gigapixel for enlarging #sonyalpha #sonyambassador
  • There is nothing quite like seeing the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone from the air. Since drones are illegal in National Parks, I had to rent a sightseeing plane from Jackson Hole and have it fly high above the park. The views were definitely worth it in the end! Sony a9 w/ 70-200 f/2.8 GM #sonyalpha #sonyambassador
  • Are Dinosaurs still alive? Sometime when I am shooting macro wildlife photography, I get the sense that they are still walking among us! There is something truly special about macro wildlife photography! This is a Green Anole (Dactyoa Frenata) that I photographed in Costa Rica. The detail, color, and sharpness are simply mind-blowing. Be sure to swipe to the left to see this photo in full resolution! Have you shot any macro wildlife photography before? Sony a1 w/ 90mm f/2.8 Macro #sonyalpha #sonyambassador
  • For the past two weeks, I have been using the new Sony400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS to photograph wildlife in Spain. The 400-800 is Sony’s longest lens ever, reaching an incredible 800mm! As a wildlife photographer, I find this specialty focal range perfect for photographing various species from a distance, making it ideal for sports and aerial photographers as well.  I was blown away by this lens's crisp sharpness, fast AF, internal zooming, and compression, especially at that ultra-telephoto end of 800mm. While my main focus was in finding and photographing the famous Iberian Lynx, I was able to take advantage of using the impressive 400-800 range to capture plenty of images and slow motion videos of a variety of bird species in the region. If you need a super telephoto birding or wildlife lens, this might be the one for you!! What questions do you have? #SonyAlpha #SonyAmbassador #sponsoredbysony
