Here's a great capture by Mike Cullivan. Mike took the shot yesterday afternoon – day three of our Bosque Del Apache workshop.

I call this a "Betty Wiley" shot. Below is Betty's wonderful image.


Here is a link to my original post about this image.

Thank you Mike and Betty for sharing.

See what good light and good eye can do!

Juan and I hope to see you there.

Here is a list of the gear you may want to consider packing:

• 400mm telephoto - close-ups of birds
• 100 - 400mm zoom - close-ups of birds
• 17-40mm zoom - scenery shots and HDR shots
• polarizing filter
• sturdy tripod - for HDR and scenery shots before sunrise
• laptop with Lightroom or Photoshop
• HDR Efex Pro or Photomatix  - for HDR processing. (Discount here)
• Topaz Adjust
• Flashlight or two. I suggest this flashlight for hands-free shooting:
'Flood Light' Head Lamp: NINE Super-Bright LED

For the dawn shoots, I recommend having both a wide-angle and telephoto lens handy, as you will want to shoot it all!

Here is a list of the clothing I recommend:
• Very warm coat, hat and gloves for the early morning shoots. It's often below freezing.
• Sunglasses
• Much lighter jacket for mid-day shooting.
• Hand and foot warmers:
Little Hotties Hand Warmers 40 Pairs Plus Toe Warmers 3 Pairs
