    Comet Neowise Coming to You

    I haven't left the city, so light pollution has been a challenge. But I did get it over Husky Stadium a couple nights ago. Max

    Yellowstone Winter 2020 Wolves

    This pack has a tendency to use the roads more than other packs (they have one of the larger ranges and will sometimes travel over 30 miles in a couple days in winter), so they're more used to people. The alpha female is descended from another wolf (which I wrote about a few years back) that...

    Yellowstone Winter 2020 Wolves

    I had four "good" wolf encounters in Yellowstone during my two week visit in January. Good being a baseline term... something I'd use if a wolf is anywhere within 200 yards or so. Three of the encounters, featuring the Wapiti Lake Pack, were actually pretty incredible. It was my best wolf trip...

    Yellowstone Winter 2020 Wildlife & Scenery

    I'm publishing two galleries of images from my January Yellowstone adventure, which was the best winter trip I've ever taken to the park. The first gallery is comprised of all the non-wolf shots, including a few landscapes mixed in with all the animal content. You can see the full gallery of...

    Trying to See the World In Black and White

    Thanks Bill. I enjoy playing with abstracts behind the lens, both in terms of composition and the occasional purposeful blur (I will share an example in my next Yellowstone post related to this trip). It can be fun seeing the results of experimentation in the field. Max

    Trying to See the World In Black and White

    Sorry, not quite sure which forum category was most appropriate for this... I wrote a new article discussing my black and white photography, and how it has helped loosen me up and allowed me to explore my artistic side a bit more over the years. I used new monochrome images from my January...

    Manitoba 2020

    Earlier this month I traveled to Manitoba in search of my first Canada lynx. Only three days on the ground, and only one of those (the coldest at -39C/-38F) was productive... but I found a cat! In total, we saw five lynx that day, but none of them posed for good photos. Got lucky with some nice...

    Lower Klamath Basin, February 2020

    A couple weeks ago I went down to southern Oregon to participate in the 41st annual Winter Wings Festival. I gave a talk and led some field trips, so I didn't have too much time to take photos... but I snapped a few here and there. I've uploaded a small gallery on my website. A short preview is...

    Great Bear Rainforest 2019

    I finally got images from my last tour of the year online. In this case, it was my September Great Bear Rainforest tour. For those not familiar with the Great Bear, it's a region of coastal British Columbia that is most famous as the primary home of the spirit bear. But there are black bears...

    Tonga 2019

    I thought I had shared these photos here, but I guess I forgot. In August, Jenn and I went to Tonga to swim with humpback whales. It's a trip I'd been planning for some time, but then was forced to reschedule from October because of the WPY stuff. The trip was a lot of fun, though going earlier...

    For those that are interested, I wrote two articles about the WPY win, the awards experience, and the photo itself: https://www.maxwaugh.com/2019/10/21/wildlife-photographer-of-the-year-behind-the-scenes/...

    Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year announcement

    Thank you, Bill. I've just returned home from London, which was a wonderful experience. I plan to share some thoughts on the Wildlife Photographer of the Year experience and the photo in my blog soon, so maybe I'll share links to those articles here. Max (And yes, I'm pretty sure I recognized...

    San Juan Foxes 2019

    In June I led a couple of short photo trips to the San Juan Islands, where we photographed the resident red foxes (along with some other wildlife). It was incredibly fruitful, and in five days I ended up taking more photos than I've taken on any other trip other than Tanzania this year. The...
