Later this week, I will be taking my last big trip of the year.  This time I will be traveling to Marco Island, Florida, to visit my brother and sister-in-law for a few days. The last time my brother and I were together was the trip to Antartica late last year.  This is going to be a guys get together--with an emphasis on shooting...photographic shooting, of course!  We have similar styles and almost identical equipment (Nikons), though slightly different interests.  He is more into birds and wildlife than I am, and I do more people and sailboats.  He does, however, have many more years experience than I do and a better technical grasp of the craft--so I plan to pick his brain and look for tips while shooting.  It is always fun to shoot in a new place and to shoot with someone--especially someone who has scouted out the locations and can offer useful suggestions on technique.  When I get back early next week, I will share some of my best work from the trip.  Meantime, have a great Columbus Day weekend and happy shooting!
