Biologists in the Field

In Brazil we celebrate the Biologists’ Day on September 3rd. It’s been over a week now, but only today I managed to mention it here at PhotoInNatura blog.

The reason for such delay couldn’t be better: that day I was doing field work out in the woods, photographing colleague researchers on their scientific activities studying birds, mammals, bats, frogs, snakes, bugs, plants and such. The most appropriate way to celebrate “our” day!

Among hundreds of images, the highlight was a fantastic face-to-face encounter with a Dwarf Caiman underwater, whose picture illustrates this post.

I just got back in town last night and Sunday will hit the road again, bound for the Pantanal. More later!

This Month’s Gallery goes online today and is composed by animal pictures taken during my recent 23-day trip with Israeli photographer Amos Nachoum, who promotes expeditions worldwide in search for exclusive wildlife images through his company Big Animals.

Tomorrow I will hit the road again, this time on assignment for Fundação Neotrópica do Brasil, where I will be photographing researchers working on a reforestation project. Thereafter, a quick stop in Bonito for some underwater shots. See you soon!

To see the images, please click on the "MONTH'S GALLERY" box, located on the right-side column of Fotograma's main page. If you experience any problems, please try this alternative link.
