Title: Cormorants And Gulls
Location: Off of Baker Island, Alaska, USA, North America
Description: I love that the new Canon 7D Mark II has GPS built in. It drains the batteries faster but there are times when that is okay. Like when you are in a boat and have room for extra batteries. And it helps me remember just where all my outdoor images where shot, so I can see them on a map when I return. I can also adjust how often it updates which helps manage battery drain but still acquire location.
These fine birds were shot while I was out teaching photography and fishing with the Waterfall Resort Summer Solstice Photography Workshop. When the sun is out in Alaska, there are photos everywhere you look!

For a while I am going to ask for your assistance in helping those in Nepal rebuild their lives. Average citizens don’t have insurance and I would not trust the inept and corrupt government to help where it is needed most.
I am going to focus on two non-profits I know have ties in the country (read: employees with families who understand where funds can help the most) for my pleas for assistance.
The first is Planeterra, a non-profit run by G Adventures. The second is the Paldorje Sherpa Foundation run by Sherpa Adventure Gear. Both of these charities are run by their parent company, who covers all their overhead so that 100% of donations go to those in need. Both of these companies do the right thing and care for the people of Nepal greatly. Both have funds set up specifically to help quake victims.
Please consider donating today.
