I made it back from Costa Rica last night. During the 6 days 5 nights there, I took over 7,000 images. For wildlife photography, especially birds, that's easy to do unlike landscape, street shooting, people or urbanscape photography. Simply no opportunity to do decent landscape photography to use my GM 24-70mm didn't get used at all on this trip. The wealth of wildlife in that country is mind boggling. I am sure that there are other tropical countries in that region or in Asia that have abundant wildlife as well but I didn't get exposed to this smaller dimension wildlife...Show more →
Just Wow Joshua !
Is it a poison frog?
There are a lot of them in Costa Rica?

HelenaN, lovely shots from your trip. I had no idea that every one in Sweden had a fighter jet at their house. Must be a very safe place. :-)
Jim
Thank you! Those jets belong to my partner and me. We have one each and it makes traveling very fast and convenient.
(It was a military museum. Closed for the evening, but not fenced in so we had a peak at the stuff outside.)

Thank you Ronny! Likewise, the frog photos you posted (especially the first one) was well done and super cute. 
Same with Johsua's. Looking forward to see more from Costa Rica.

Only decent shot I got, during whale watching. I had to crop the photo a lot. I would say close to 100% crop.

Some sunflowers fun... I learned that some type of sunflowers don't always turn towards the sun. This is the type?

For birds, mostly BIF photography, I took the approach of "spray and pray", hoping that let's say, flying hummingbirds are in perfect focus and in peak position in a few images during a burst. I will delete tons of OOF images. Regardless whether I was using a Canon or Nikon, that's the approach for this type of photography, let alone using Sony mirrorless with Canon lens via Metabones. I got lucky a few times. So, I am not really disappointed in that respect.
Perching birds are easier to capture but still, using the combo mentioned above, it was a frustrating experience. In quite a few instances, the AF started to rack back and forth. The bird flew shortly after that. The AF using my native 70-300mm is better but it is way too short and still not ideal. The consolation price is, using the lock on AF if you have enough patience it could pay off. It locked on that bird pretty well after it took off and I got several well focused images of BIF that way as long as the birds are pretty large and not too far away. Again, the FL is awfully short....

On objects, like this "perching" tree frog, that moves only occasionally the system works just fine. Plus, the frog is not shy, so, a macro lens works is suitable.Just Wow Joshua !

Hi Ronny,
Thank you! Coming from you, AKA the frog master, means a lot. Yes, they are poisonous frogs. They are fairly common and they are probably most photographed frog from CR for a valid reason. There are others less photographed frogs. The most intriguing one, to me at least, is the so called "glass" frogs as their body is almost translucent. More difficult to photographed though, smaller and not so colorful. I will post a few images of that frog later on.
Tired of frogs? Here are images of a small but colorful viper on heliconia then.

Well, of course, the abundance of wildlife in Africa is similar but there you care more for big and well visible animals, while here you have to crawl, look closely to discover tiny and awesome looking and colorful creatures. Without any experience guide in the darkish rainforest to point them to you, forget it, you would easily miss it.For birds, mostly BIF photography, I took the approach of "spray and pray", hoping that let's say, flying hummingbirds are in perfect focus and in peak position in a few images during a burst.

I repeat everything Ronny just said!! Great images these pages.
Joshua...that little ass viper has a very serious look to him! I got awfully close
So I picked up a Contax N70-200 3.5/4.5 to compliment the 24-85 I have(had)...could not get the 70-200 to cooperate with the Kipon adapter at all!! So I found a Fringer v2 adapter for a relatively good price so now I've got a long(ish) lens for our camping trips. So far I really like it. Sold off the N24-85 and decided to keep my 35-70, which goes really well with the N70-200.

Joshua - absolutely fantastic shots (not surprised).
i've been contemplating a trip down there for a few years -
(from my nikon days, there's a workshop guy who specializes in birds and small critters Steve Gettle who i've traveled with previously and who goes down there almost every year and i've been trying to hook up with again) -
a few Qs, if you have time to reply (given that you generally set the bar, your experience would be really appreciated by pudknockers like me):
1. what cities did you stay in and how did you scout your trip locations/ideas, etc.
2. was this time of year based on your personal schedule or is that an ideal time to go down there
3. lens usage (after i'm back for a month or so and have selected my 'winners', usually about 4% of my shots, i like to get a 'count' of lens usage of those 'winners' to see what was most useful for a given trip/region)
