  • I travel to Ecuador and photograph the beautiful cloud forest. I shoot wildlife, such as Hummingbirds and Toucans as well as waterfalls deep in the cloud forest. Thanks to MPB for sponsoring this video. Buy, Sell & Trade Your Gear: bit.ly/3A5UKSs

    A group of friends all turned 60 in 2024. As a celebration, we went to Costa Rica. Yes, we went to an all-inclusive but, being a birder, had to set up an all day tour of birding. A 4 am start providied a ridiculous number of birds and one eyelash viper. All very similar to this trip of yours to Ecauador. I need to go to the $86.00 per night cabin!!!

    Hi Thomas. I'm following you for several years now. I'm a Belgian who has been living in Ecuador for 32 years now, because I fell in love with the nature beauty and richness of this country. I'm very glad that you came visit Ecuador and that you enjoyed it. I hope that this will motive more photographers to write the name of Ecuador on their bucket list. This country is little-known in the world of landscape photographers and it's really a pity. The potential for creating beautiful images here is infinite. Welcome and has always a great video and amazing photos. Congrats I love what you do.

    Congratulations on visiting this wonderful place, on which landscape photography is not likely spend.
    Wildlife is abundantly present, and seems to ask for a different approach.
    Hummingbirds, being the diamonds in the sky, need to be seen from the same angle as the lightsource, in order to let their special colours stand out, not as you both did, from the shade.
    They are very approachable and not scared of you, as you're movements are way to slow.
    But the pictures you've taken, with such a high image quality, are stil stunning.
    Thanks for the post Thomas, I hope you've enjoyed 🙂

    I know that I might be a little bit biased because my dad is Ecuadorean but I love our trips down there from Canada and it’s only been since I’ve gotten older that I’ve been able to go and explore the country a little bit more because when I was younger, it was all about Visiting our very large family. Now I split the trip in half and visit family and then mini adventures but unfortunately, it’s a little harder now that I have a spinal injury 😔. A bucket list item is still the Galapagos islands!

I idiotically drank water -- without filtering nor treating it -- from a small waterfall I was photographing in Mindo. It was very similar to the one you shot. I ultimately paid the price with a prescription of antibiotics and haven't made that mistake since, lol.

    The macro world and photography on a smaller scale is another story though.

I do think you missed out on so much though, the insect macro opportunities there are off the scale. But then you haven't had much outdoor macro practice, totally addictive in the tropics! The birding can be fabulous but takes a lot of practice and experience.

    What a fantastic adventure, Thomas. I loved the toucan picture and the waterfall. I have photographed birds for the last several years so I know a bit about what you were experiencing with the foliage and the lighting. Last year I concentrated on hummingbirds and I kind of got my fill of them. This year I haven't tried to attract them with a feeder but I do have out some of their favorite flowers. That last cablecar "hummingbird" was enough to give you pause, wasn't it. I can empathize with that. About the accommodations: one night couldn't possible be enough. Glad you gave us a tour of that, too.
