Had an absolute blast meeting up and shooting with Geoff and Ron in Florida recently. You couldn't pick two nicer, more easy-going FMers to shoot with than these guys. Oh, and they also happen to be very talented photographers (with Ron's special talent being his ability to generate unlimited BIF opportunities )! I want to thank them for making this such a memorable trip.
Geoff flew in on a red-eye from Vancouver, while Ron and I drove down together and picked Geoff up at Orlando airport. Ron took the last leg of the drive into Orlando while I caught some shuteye, and of course he managed to get us to the wrong airport . Fortunately, my excellent planning had us reach Orlando about an hour ahead of schedule, so we still had time to get to the correct airport to pick up our Yukon buddy.
I'd say the trip was a great success. We visited a number of locations and saw a lot of Florida's signature birds, as well as a gator or two (and a surprise at the end of this set). We introduced Geoff to Chick-fil-a and got him a tan, but we missed out on treating him to the freshly squeezed orange juice. I guess that's for next time. On the other hand, we did come across his mentor and idol at one of the locations, so that must have been inspirational .
So here are some of the birds that I managed to photograph before Ron could get out of the car and scare them away .
