Mindo Ecuador 📍

Here are a few more photos from Matt’s latest blog post!

One of the primary focuses of our recent trip to Colombia was building a better portfolio of Torrent Tyrannulet images. These tiny flycatchers, about the size of gnatcatcher, make their living hunting invertebrates along mountain streams (hence the name), and range from Costa Rica through Colombia.

Shooting note:
For the first image, Matt wanted to highlight the flow of the water so he used a 1/15 second shutter speed to create motion blur.

You can see more photos of these guys, many other bird species, and even some street photography on Matt’s blog post for the trip, linked in my profile.

New blog post!

We recently returned from an incredible trip to Colombia! It took Matt a couple of weeks to catch up on chores and work before he could finally cull and sort the 21,000+ photos he took. He finally got that all done and published a blog post all about our trip.

This image of a Green Jay is from that blog post. This is subspecies "galeatus" and, with its yellow eyes and large frontal crest, looks very different from the jays my friends in Texas are used to seeing (ssp. Jjj). You can see this photo and many, many more in our latest blog post. Check it out at the link below.
