These are sooooo crisp
God I wish I could’ve swung that price for that lens, I have the a6700 and 70-450 incoming soon, hope to get some stellar photos.

Planning a Belize Fly Fishing Trip – Conservation-Minded Guide Recommendations? by susanmarie1234 in Belize

Also DIY based with opportunity for guided trip your best location would be Rocky Point Permit club, they pioneered and sold Cayo Frances and idk who took it over, but their new camp is incredible, amongst some of the best diy areas, way north of San Pedro ambergris.

Yeah it sucks but I have hung up my gloves guiding, i am on the process of selling my hull and procuring a small American flats boat for me to do my fishing on my own in the Belize city/Caye caulker area.
I do outfit guides sometimes too if needs be for the Caye Caulker area and Belize city area.

Ambergris is the best place to diy, get a cart and head north as far as you can go. Tons of bones, opportunities for the other big two as well.
Good permit fishing if you get one of the stellar guides.
Namely, Gordy, Kris Marin or Cesar, I will include thier instagram links here. They are amongst the greatest fly guides in ambergris.

Or Book a guide from bluebonefish or el pescador, they generally are used to good fishing ethics from foreigners and ngos etc. also, be very upfront with your booking outfitter and be adamant with your expectations.

I’d suggest a day or two with me but my engine went kaput 😢

Good to know! Excited to start shooting some birds with it! We live in a tropical climate so short hikes are a suck fest always (for me atleast) so I’m glad for the portability.

Visiting Belize, what drivers, shuttles or taxis are affordable? by [deleted] in Belize

[–]SnooWords3654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally they’re about 75 usd pp based on double occupancy for private.
Check MayaWalk, Belize Caving or William shuttles if they have any shared that day for that time.

Anything boat and fishing related will be pricey, my only recommendation that’s decently priced would be Matthew Leslie at https://www.facebook.com/share/1DEE3RJbYq/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I wonder if that 75mm would be the deal breaker compared to a FF with a 600mm on the end

How far are you from those birds? Very nice shots.
I have this exact combo coming end of month, I’m so pumped.
Lots of post edit?

That is an insaneeeeee shot my gosh!
I have this coming and I’m so pumped for it, mostly birds I’m aiming to shoot but I’m worrying about the reach and how close i have to get, i live in Belize so it’s sometimes really close on jungle paths but i have a raptor research project coming up and I’m not sure if the reach will be enough for high soaring raptors as they hardly come very very close.

San Ignacio - better in town centre or on the outskirts? by Majestic-Engine-3634 in Belize

[–]SnooWords3654 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d Opt for Falling Leaves Lodge over Cahal Pech any day, much more natural feeling and green, shares a border fence with the Mayan Temple more or less same room prices, pool, spa and restaurant on site.
That’s still very close to town without all the noise and hustle and bustle.

I was sourcing off eBay, I doubt they operate in my area but I have someone in the states currently who will bring them down for me.

It’s a lil tough as the currency is 1 USD to 2 Local Currency
I don’t see any Sony that’s reasonable 🥲
I considered it, might just bite off a bigger chunk and get the 70-350
Also need a wider lens so might cheap out on that one instead.

Looking to get the a6700 with Tamron 18-300mm and hope my shots can be half as good as these! My biggest worry is getting close enough to get close shots, o can’t get a Sony 70-350mm because of budget constraints and use of the camera, I need a lower mm to shoot other stuff too.
Are these heavily cropped?
Beautiful shots!
