Blue Footed Boobie, Galapagos Islands:

I told myself to stop uploading photos from the Galapagos. But I cannot help it. So this will be the last one for a while.

Friends often ask me when seeing this photo how could I take it with my small Olympus C-740 camera. For those of you who haven’t been to the Galapagos Islands, I’ll explain that animals there have no reason to fear people. The entire archipelago is a national park, meaning you can’t tour the uninhabited smaller islands without an official guide. Thanks to this, you can see birds nesting a meter from the path you’re walking on and many other amazing things. In short, If you’re in the area, I highly recommend visiting there.

Yet another photo from the Galapagos Islands. This time it’s a Marine Iguana.

The more I go over the photos from there the more I want to go back. Or to a new place. I need to go to Australia and New Zealand. I’ll get there…

I noticed my photo posts have been alternating between animals and people / other stuff.
So after the last photo post – it’s time for another animal:

Crab

This crab was eating from the greenish matter in front of him (or her, or however it works with crabs). I also have a nice video of it in action, but this photo turned out to be quite nice in my opinion.

Looking back, I must admit that touring in South America in general (and the Galapagos Islands especially) has been an amazing photographic experience. There’s nothing like taking the camera with you everywhere you go for a long period of time. It’s something you can’t quite do in the regular day to day routine. It is something I should do again soon…

Flamingo

So I got this groovie new camera. I started taking photos like crazy. And yet I’m posting a photo of this flamingo from the Galapagos Islands. I’m still getting the hang of the new camera… Soon…
