p.1 #1 · Ecuador 2nd pass


I visited Ecuador for a bird photography trip in late January. This week, I revisited my photos and selected the following images to edit. I’ll be returning to Ecuador this April, and I can’t wait!

Thank you for taking the time to look.
Jason

Superb images Jason. I see you take advantage of time away from your photos to be able to chose the very best without emotional influence.

Thanks Bob. I'm glad you like the white-booted racket-tail as I almost didn't include it.

Thanks Morris. The time away from these photos wasn't intentional, it was more as a result of other priorities.

Amazing shots! What lens choice did you make and what were the most used? I am going there next two weeks and considering carrying 300 2.8 and 600 f4 though contemplating if 600 f4 will be not necessary? I could carry 70-200 2.8 II as well but again adds more to carry when I am trying to keep the setup minimum air travel standpoint. Any thoughts? I am going to NW of Quito in mindo valley and some two south east of Quito spots as well.
