SPACE COAST BIRDING & WILDLIFE FESTIVAL

  53_Roseate-Spoonbill-young.jpg

Come join in on the fun at the 11 th annual Festival on January 23rd thru the 28th. For in-depth details on all the activities visit their website at www.nbbd.com/fly. As in past years, I’ll be leading three in-the-field photography workshops on the 24th, 25th, & 26th. I still talk in “film lingo” as well as digital, and may possibly have a tip or two for those who enjoy shooting the ‘digiscope-way’, as well as the ‘point and shoot’ photographers. Bring all your toys, photoshop tips, revelations, horror stories, success stories, advice and we’ll have an old-fashioned “PHOTO-BEE” while out shooting images of the local fauna!!! In other words, you all are welcome into my photography workshop groups as I firmly believe we all can ‘bring something to each other’s table’.

On Wednesday, January 23rd from 1:00 to 2:00 pm and on Saturday, January 26th from 2:30 to 3:30 I’ll be giving my slide presentation featuring my latest tour destination to Madagascar, as well as images from my safaris to Africa and the largest wetland in the world, the Pantanal. Of course, I had to include a few favorite images taken in and around our very own famous wetland, the Everglades.

53_Viera-Wetlands.jpg 53_Photoboat.jpg

Please come by my booth which is located in the gym of the Brevard Community College North Campus. I’ll have informative, give-away brochures of the up-coming Safari/Tours, large laminated images taken while on these various safaris, and a sign-up sheet for a FREE “by appointment only”--- during the festival----fifteen-minute private critique of any of your work. Bring by your e-mail address and drop it in my ‘Free Drawing’ Box., or just come by to say hello!!!

 

TOURS FOR 2008

  53_Howler-Monkey.jpg

The date is set for June 4 th thru June 21st, the lodges & guides are booked, and the wildlife is on “red alert” awaiting your arrival! You lucky people will have a fabulous lifetime experience viewing and photographing the wonders of the largest inland wetland in the world! In our own private bus, we will be traveling to three different areas of the Pantanal in Brazil that I have personally experienced and are among my favorite spots because of the abundance and variety of birds and other wildlife. We will be visiting and living on privately owned lands---huge ranches which encompass thousands of acres for as far as the eye can see. For our daily safaris, I’ve made arrangements for vehicles with experienced drivers and naturalists/guides which will insure finding our subjects and provide us comfortable shooting space.

The Pantanal stands as one of the world’s great natural wonders with its extraordinarily concentrated and diverse flora and fauna, and a landscape that spans a variety of ecological sub-regions. This area of the world is an unequaled wildlife sanctuary containing hundreds of species of birds, huge varieties of butterflies, and mammals such as Capuchin and Howler monkeys, anteaters, capybaras, crab-eating foxes, and tapirs to name just a few. Caimans, anacondas and numerous species of lizards are just a few of the reptiles we will be able to photograph. Many endangered and rare species like the jaguar, ocelot, giant river otter and increasingly rare Hyacinth macaw make their home in the Pantanal. This is truly a wildlife and nature lover’s, birder’s, and/or photographer’s paradise. Visit my website and view some of the images taken during my last visits: www.joannewilliamsphoto.com. You do not need to be a photographer to go on and enjoy my Joanne Williams Pantanal Safari!!

SAFARI 2008 - August 16th thru September 2nd

Your African Safari to Kenya will take you to some of the most sought after photo “hot spots” in the world. In the Samburu Game Reserve, a semi-desert habitat, you will see the unique reticulated giraffe, gerenuk that feed while standing on their hind legs, the thin-striped Grevy’s zebra, dozens of species of birds such as the lilac-breasted rollers, vulturine guineafowl, or pale-chanting goshawks. Samburu is a great location for leopards and excellent for filming.

  53_Leopard.jpg

We will be visiting Lake Nakuru, home of one of the largest populations of lesser flamingos in the world, plus Rothschild giraffes, olive baboons, impala and the elusive leopard are some examples. Our itinerary will include many opportunities to photograph the scores of bird species that live in and around our various destinations, such as: African spoonbills, goliath heron, jewel-like Malachite kingfisher, yellow-billed stork, and snake eagle to name a few.

The Masai Mara Game Reserve is considered by many the premier photography location in Africa offering a variety of habitats and wildlife. Elephants, hippos, Masai giraffe, zebra, gnu, impala, Thompson’s & Grants gazelles, topi, hartebeest, hyrax, jackal, hyena, cheetah, leopard and lion are permanent, and fairly common residents within the park. The highlight of this area is the ‘great migration’ of the wildebeest and zebra, and hopefully, the famous river crossing with thousands of animals leaping into a raging river filled with 15’ to 18’ Nile Crocodiles! We will be spending the longest part of our Safari within the Mara, giving us the optimum photo opportunities. Also to help insure our photographic success, I offer the exceptional setup of only two photographers per van, which is a rarity among tour leaders!

Other destinations may be added and will be announced at a later date.

Luxury accommodations on a twin-share basis with private facilities while on safari, breakfast, lunch & dinner all days, driver & porter gratuities, vans with English speaking, knowledgeable driver-guides (2 persons per van only!), all park entry fees and hotel taxes.

Photo Researchers, Editors, and Publishers:

As stated in previous newsletters, at no obligation to you, send me a “want list” of images you are looking for that may coincide with a trip I’m about to take, or have recently taken, and I’ll do my very best to seek out that subject and shoot it with your request in mind. This may save you some expense, give me a specific mission and possibly a sale of that image. It’s a ‘win, win situation’!

A quick reminder that my library of 35mm original slides houses approximately 75,000 images, and my digital library presently holds over 41,000 (and growing-hourly)!
