UPDATE Newsletter - December 15, 2009

If you're a photographer who frequently uses flash or strobe, I have a new online article for you:

Quantum Turbo Batteries: More Ways to Supercharge Your Flash

Learn about the latest external flash batteries in the powerful Quantum Turbo line, along with my recommendations for your photography. Discover the special advantages of these high-voltage batteries. I hope you find the information useful.

Upcoming workshops:

Costa Rica Hummingbirds and More
April 9-18, 2010

Costa Rica Quetzals and Hummingbirds
April 18-22, 2010

This will be the eighth year of my popular Costa Rica workshops where you'll come away with great shots of beautiful hummingbirds, and the incredible Resplendent Quetzal.

You'll also learn how to use your flash for all types of photography, plus special techniques for getting great shots of hummingbirds in flight. We supply all the multiple flash equipment you'll need, including lightstands and backgrounds. (You're welcome to bring your own as well.)

This is a great trip for non-photographer spouses and guests -- join with a $1,200 discount, with optional activities including guided birding, horseback riding, volcano viewing, and day trips to various places of interest.

These workshops are very relaxed and low-exertion. We expect an incredible twenty or more species of hummingbirds, and with a limit of 6 photographers, you'll receive plenty of personal attention.

Feel free to forward this newsletter to other photographers. And thank you for your interest.

Join us in Costa Rica for great photography and learning! You can register by phone or email.

Best wishes,
Ralph
