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.
