Photo Tours August- Chris Kirk

Chris Kirk an alumni of one of my nature photography classes and has since been a guest on several of my tours. He has  become a good friend, we even celebrated his birthday together after this trip, over lunch at my favorite mexican food place (Amigos) in Bluffton. He is a camera club member in Beaufort and a rising talent- Have a look : )

"As a three trip alumnus of Lowcountry wildlife photo tours I can highly recommend them. Eric does not provide a service - he provides an experience! On our dolphin strand feeding tour we saw over a dozen beaching incidents over a 40 minute period. Eric could anticipate their movements and put us in a position to photograph this unusual event. A truly unique endeavor."  Chris

  3. I think it is one of many techniques they use to get some concentrated eating done. Here is an article published in "Nation Wildlife
    Federations magazine.http://www.nwf.org/News-and-Magazines/National-Wildlife/Animals/Archives/2005/Stranded-on-Porpoise.aspx

  4. Kirk really captures the essence of wildlife and the coastal world. I can "feel" the moment in his photos.
