Taken in the Bale Mountains National Park.
Without the help of a local guide we would never have found this bird.
In November, I traveled through Cambodia and Thailand. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the Angkor archaeological complex, a vast array of temples spanning 40 square kilometers. This temple, Angkor Wat, is the most famous. It was truly spectacular.
We hired a local guide (thanks, Dor!) and met him at 5AM outside our guesthouse. We picked up our bikes and rode through the dark streets of Siem Reap to the gates of the Angkor complex, making it to Angkor Wat just in time for a spectacular sunrise.
I wish I had been able to take real camera gear and capture the scene properly, but I'm pleased with the admirable job my Sony NEX-5R MILC did - it's a great compact travel camera. Had I had the foresight at the time to shoot the scene in RAW, I'm sure the result would have been more impressive.
Nevertheless, it was a truly amazing sight and a sunrise I won't forget for a long time.

Mongolia is one of those countries where, you generally need a guide. Perhaps if you can speak Russian, you can get away without one, but unless you're miraculously conversant in Mongolian, the trip is going to be way more pleasant with a local guide.
This was one of the main targets of the trip. Without a local guide, we would not have located this single bird at the lek during a long rain soaked uphill climb. After about a 15 minute search, the guide found this bird almost directly overhead resembling a leaf. It wasn't until we climbed an uphill muddy trail that we reached the bird within 40 feet just a little overhead. Shooting on a muddy slope, hanging onto a tree for traction at very slow shutter speeds (1/25 for this shot), I managed to capture this and a few other images.
Spectacular crow-like bird with a bushy crest. Male has a thick feathered wattle dangling from his throat that can be extended to an astonishing length while displaying. It inhabits tall, lush, and undisturbed rainforest in western Ecuador and western Colombia. Quite scarce, and usually encountered at fruiting trees or at known display sites, where several males may congregate, extending their wattles and giving very low-pitched, airy hoots.
This one was photographed in Ecuador guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
We arrived early to the "Tapir Valley Natural reserve". It was raining torrentially . The local guide stated that he saw a rare find! A large female tapir was resting near by. As the rain subsided we approached just in time as she was getting up for breakfast. (7:30AM) The challenge was taking a clear image through the thick brush. Tapirs look something like pigs with trunks, but they are actually related to horses and rhinoceroses. This eclectic lineage is an ancient one—and so is the tapir itself. Scientists believe that these animals have changed little over tens of millions of years.
Hamhung is the main chemical city in North Korea.
The local guide told me there is no pollution in the town...I explained her that in my town, Toulouse, we had the same kind of chemical factory, and it made 30 deaths 10 years ago when everything exploded...She told me it was not possible in North Korea. The weather was bad, and everything looked dull and sad...

Dr. Beanes being held captive by the British was the incident that led to Francis Scott Key being held offshore of Fort McHenry and writing a poem that became the Star Spangled Banner.
This was a very special find. The Brown-banded Antpitta (Grallaria milleri) is endemic to Colombia and vulnerable due to loss of suitable habitat as a result of human activity. In 1992 it was suspected that the species was extinct, but it was rediscovered in 1994. Its range is limited to a small area between 1800 and 3100 meters above sea level in the forests of the central Colombian Andes. As of today the only known locations are in the neighboring Departments of Quindio, Risarada and Caldas on the western slope of the central Colombian Andes and on the eastern slope in the nearby Department of Tolima.
Antpittas are secretive, wary and shy birds that inhabit the dark understory of mountain forests. They never stray far from cover. They feed on insects on or near the ground. Ants are a diet favorite. They are small round bodied birds with short tails and relatively long legs.
For us this was not a lucky find because we had the help of an extremely professional and knowledgeable local guide, Mr. Albeiro Uribe, at Reserva Ecologica Rio Blanco in Manizales, Caldas, Colombia.
Albeiro led us to this bird and three other species of Antpitta.
These monkeys are very cheeky because they where throwing sticks at me when I passed by. My local guide warned me not to walk underneath the trees because they will also pee or shit on my head.

Wild dogs, generally with the most gentile natures, and known by name with the local guides, often accompany hikersas they ascend a very steep mountain trail. Here, meet a chucho known as Lola, the sweetest mountain mutt of Guatemala's Pacaya volcano.

Photo tip: ask the local guide about what is expected to be seen in the diving site to decide as to whether you mount the wide angle or macro lens before diving.
This old male had recently been in a fight to defend his territory against a youinger tiger. Although he won that fight it left him him with a nasty wound on his nose. Unfortunately our local guide thought it would only be a matter of time before the younger tiger defeated him and he was ousted from his territory..
This was our first of 7 different tiger sightings in Tadoba Tiger Reserve.
