Wings Over South Texas Air Show 2025

I got only three hours of sleep the night before so I brought minimal equpment and conserved my energy. I still got 76G of data, 700+ images, and 70+ videos. The best 26 still images are in this gallery.

The videos will take me a while to process and post. I'm not a videographer and I left the weight of the tripod in the car to conserve my energy. So, it will take a while to post them.

Here are four of the best images to wet your appitite:

Antarctica 2007

A friend mentioned his favorite photograph he has seen from me and it was from my trip to Antarctica back in 2007. I discovered that I did not have a gallery on SmugMug for that trip. So here are a few shots as well as a link to a gallery of 60+ images from that trip.

Black-crested titmouse at YMCA

I took the Canon EOS R1 out today. I had been considering selling it because the few features it had over the Canon EOS R5 Mark 2 like faster frame rate didn't seem worth the cost. But then I watched a couple of YouTube videos and thought I might should reconsider. The major attributes now to me are the low light performance, the huge electronic view finder, and it's aledged ability to focus better than the R5 Mark 2.

The only bird that was really out was a Black-crested titmouse which reminds me of something that is puzzling me. This year seems really weird. The wild flowers appear to be on a weird schedule and the YMCA has virtually no wildlife still and this is May 1st. Am I confused or is nature on a very late schedule this year?

In any case, here are a batch of images taken today.
