I have already made several photographs of a large kingfisher, but this is the closest

This is one of the canoes in which one travels by the Orinoco river to arrive at the stones of Botero

Cocoi heron on the Bita River

One of these was the one who was very close

This terrifying look really was difficult to photograph because the babillas were easily frightened

Many of these beauties I found on the way to the hill of Quininí

This rocks are part of "Guiana Shield", reason why they are very old

This black skimmer was in mating flight

Hiker rests on top of Cerro Quinini after a difficult climb

Whenever I travel through the rivers of the Orinoquia I find these swallows perched lazily on the stones

The Black Corocora is a very common bird in the river Bita and in the Orinoco, but it does not stop being interesting to photograph it. This is the first picture of a sequence of four of the same bird

This is part of what they call the "Botero Rocks" on the Orinoco River

A pied plover on the beach of an island in the Bita river

In these motorized canoes we travel along the rivers Bita, Meta and Orinoco

This mockingbird sang me a serenade a few yards while I was brushing my teeth in the camp

Taking a picture of a moving canoe with a motor and a restless bird is an adventure.

We were fishing when they appeared and I said hard otters!

I found these two piguas on one of the Botero stones and they seemed to be chatting when I interrupted them when I took the photo

This beach is on the island where we camped on the Bita river

One of those beautiful sunrises in the river Bita, with canoe and canoero

In our Colombian rivers and in particular in the Orinoco there are many of these Great egrets

It seems that this small plant is hidden from the heat in the holes of the botero stones

A curious dolphin on the river Orinoco peers out to see these strange monkeys floating on the river in a canoe

Calm waters on one side of the "Raudal de Atures" on the Orinoco River

This yellow-rumped cacique sang very close to the camp, so much so that in the following days the mockingbird imitated it

Many of these beauties I found on the way to the hill of Quininí

That day we woke up to celebrate the birthday of a partner and the river gave us this gift

The Black Corocora is a very common bird in the river Bita and in the Orinoco, but it does not stop being interesting to photograph it. This is the fourth photo of a sequence of four of the same bird

These beautiful pink birds surprised me by sailing on the Bita River

Bought this gadget through Orms in late March to auto-geotag my photos. It accurately logs your position every 15 seconds to its 32MB onboard flash memory (which works out to about 360 hours of NMEA-formatted GPS data) and takes just a single AA battery.

Once you've completed your shoot, the bundled software will merge the GPS data with your photo's existing EXIF data - Flickr takes care of the rest. It's guaranteed to work with recent Sony Cyber-shot cameras, but from what I've read is compatible with other cameras too.

Also useful for viewing your trip on Google Earth (requires you to first convert the data to either GPX or Google's KML format). Now if I can just find some software to parse the log files in realtime, I might just be able to use Google Earth on a laptop as a satellite navigation tool for the car! :)

Reviews: here and here - get it while it's hot (can't wait 'til this stuff's built into all cameras!)
