Hi all,
I had some time on hand since I was down with a cold and flu. I do know that life is going to get crazy soon. Thanks to all of you who have pointed out certain improvements. Please continue to provide pointers so that I can improve.
The most challenging part of photography in CR is the low and diffused light. I wanted to shoot with the lowest possible ISO, but have the highest possible shutter speed, especially for the tanagers, and other smaller lowland rain forest bird, but many shots had to be taken at high ISO, resulting in some noise as you will notice
Since 40 pictures in my last post appeared to a bit too much, I will post less than 40. (you'll see what I mean)
Once again, the diversity and the variety in CR is amazing and I was sometimes struggling to keep up. Didn't know what to shoot. Most days started with a 4:30 - 5 AM wake up with 6 AM out the door schedule and we shot during many nights as well. I probably shot more in 10 days there than I do 4-6 months in the US. So once again thanks to Supreet for making this happen.
1- Agouti - we were very lucky to have seen this rare visitor, very shy creature
2-Mottled owl - shot at very high ISO. Still not mastered the art of night photography
3- Green Honey creeper
4- Coati I was not able to get to eye level to get this animal very few shots

These are amazing...
You have some fantastic portraits with beautiful light and background. I love the addition of rain in some of these.
This set alone would be more than enough to make me happy if I were to have been as productive as you.

This is another extra nice set KD. I'd be very happy with any of these - except 12, which has an odd look. I suspect from the use of flash. I wish I could help, but I've never shot in the dark ~ Ron
