i love this bird!!! crazy feet & beak, drab body....
what is it??
That is a red footed booby. There are three types of endemic boobies in the Galapagos, the red footed, the blue footed and the nazca (aka "masked") boobies.
Absolutely *Amazing* !!!
<----in awe...... The "Polaris" looks like a Research Vessel.... (marine biologist/lucky guest)? Gorgeous,. . . love the 'baby and mama/papa pics'

Thank you.
The Polaris is a research vessel operating solely in the Galapagos through Lindblad Expeditions. They are heavily involved in the conservation of the area and repatriation of the tortoises in areas where they had been killed off. Funds raised through excursions such as the one I went on help to fund 10-14% of the budget of the Darwin Research Center in the Galapagos. This particular excursion was geared to hosting photographers and I was working with former columnists from Popular Photography (just a hobby - I am a trial lawyer by profession).
Gallery Link
I have opened the gallery with the first set of photos and it can be found here: http://photography.robertondrovic.com/gallery/1013845/1/46992289
I have over 5500 photos so this will be a "work in progress" for a while to be able to upload a representative sampling of life in the Galapagos.

Re: Heavenly Site
That is because he spotted Donwon and myself moving in on him with a bowl of drawn butter.:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:MiamiMermaid said:I was wondering the same thing. Absolutely amazing photos!! Wow!!
Aww, the lil' crabbie looks like he's praying ... awesome*:wink:
Bob,
You wanted it so here comes the professional critique. Your photos as usual
SUCK
What suck's is that you are there taking fantastic photos and I am here where it is currently cold and dark
By the way who is taking all of the fantastic photos you posted:tongue: :tongue:
Composition 10, Subject Matter 10, Lighting and color rendition 10, we can discuss the rest upon your return. I think there are several publications that would kill for this coverage. It's too bad you let that legal sh*# get in the way of a promising (but not too profitable) career as a photographer.
Let me know who is on board from Pop Photo I used to know many of the editors from my Spiratone and Berkey/Beseler days.
Good luck with the rest of the trip and let me know when you get back and I will come up to edit a "show" with you:smile: Have a fantastic time and by the way did I tell you that you "suck":tongue:
