I especially like the way you showed respect for the gannets and the park in general. It has whet my appetite for more and I'm thinking of your Texas workshop next. You were an inspiration and very patient with me. I only wish I could go back now, knowing what I learned from you and using it to produce even better and memorable images. I had a wonderful time on your Northern Gannet workshop on Bonaventure Island. I had high expectations going into the workshop and I can honesty say that my expectations were exceeded and then some. You did a great job of making sure everything went smoothly and I appreciated your help with camera settings, techniques, etc. The gannets were awesome and I am really, really happy with my pictures. If you want to experience a true photographer's paradise and learn tons about bird photography while there, then this is the trip for you - I guarantee it! This is one of those workshops that 500 or 600mm lenses are not obligatory to make some killer images! No one on earth knows the place better than I do! Do consider joining me and read more about the August 21-23, 2013 Gannets Galore Workshop on Bonaventure Island, Quebec HERE.

The conditions are so good that I have decided to return and have just announced an August 21-23, 2013 Gannets Galore workshop / photo safari. I'm just in the door from my Gannets Galore workshops and can honestly say that the Northen Gannet colony on Bonaventure Island is better than ever! We had a mix of weather and I enjoyed some fabulous company from the wonderful participants. Click HERE to order a print or license image for publication.
