Part 2\/6 of my month long trip in Costa Rica leading a few photography workshops.<\/p>\n

We had some really nice opportunities throughout the tours and many wonderful images were made. Costa Rica is one of those countries that is just so pleasant to visit.<\/p>\n

During one of the days we took a short trip down the road to a new spot for feeder set ups. As much as I love the challenge of rainforest photography I always love a good opportunity to “set up” a shot. Selecting a good perch, background and just the right amount of fill flash allowed us all to get some sweet shots!<\/p>\n

Each of the two trips that I led this year had slightly different itineraries from here.<\/p>\n

On one group we traveled up hill toward a great little lodge in the higher country. Here we focused our efforts on the amazing variety of hummingbirds at this elevation.<\/p>\n

We did a lot of multi-flash hummingbird photography and came away with some really nice results.<\/p>\n

When I saw a few Chestnut-capped Brush Finches lurking around the lodge I couldn’t help resist setting up a nice mossy perch for them.<\/p>\n

If you think you might like to join me in Costa Rica next year be sure to send me an email as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

All the best!<\/p>\n
