Today I feature Rick Andrews, a wildlife photographer from Alberta, Canada, who joined the first of my two Japan Winter Wildlife Tours for 2015. I always do my tour updates with my own photography, but I thought it would make a nice change to see the tour from a participants perspective. Rick...

Posted at 23:56h, 13 AprilWonderful to see you both. Rick I have to agree with Martin that you were a bit modest. Terrific collection of images and thank you so much for sharing them. And I have to agree with Rick that the trip was excellent. Hopefully I’ll have an opportunity to travel with you both again at sometime in the future.

Posted at 09:00h, 14 AprilWonderful to see you here too Debra! This was a lot of fun, and something I’m really happy to start doing.
I hope to travel with you again at some point too.

Posted at 01:07h, 14 AprilWhat a treat to relive our trip. I enjoy listening to another photographer’s thoughts on his photographs. My favorite was the stag on the seashore because as Rick said, it’s not something we are accustomed to seeing. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to traveling again with Martin.

Posted at 09:01h, 14 AprilI look forward to traveling with you again too Lynne! Thanks for stopping by. I’m pleased you enjoyed this.

Posted at 12:38h, 14 AprilThanks Lynne, glad you enjoyed my shots and perhaps through them got to relive your trip.

Posted at 07:46h, 15 AprilGreat to see your images Rick :), and yes you are way too modest. Stood beside you on the last day on the boat so have some similar shots, which is very cool. I learnt so much on the trip, thanks to Martin, and also everyone else who was willing to share.
I am going to repeat what everyone else has said, but the trip was awesome, I had never been on a trip overseas like this before, so the bar has been set very high for any others I may do.
The Landscape trip to Hokkaido is on my list for the future, so who knows, may meet some of you on that :).

Posted at 08:39h, 15 AprilGreat to see you here too Janice! I’m pleased you learned plenty and enjoyed the trip too.
You’d love the Hokkaido Landscape tour. It’s a slightly steadier pace, but a lot of fun, with great results.

Posted at 23:22h, 15 AprilHi Jan, and thanks, but modest or not it seems that you got similar shots to me so I think everyone came away with some very good shots from the workshop. Hope to shoot with you again sometime.
