33 minutes

This is The Digital Story Podcast #983, Jan 21, 2025. Today's theme is "I Missed a Few Shots, But I'm OK." I'm Derrick Story.

Opening Monologue

I arrived in Costa Rica with two pieces of carry-on luggage. People asked me, "Where's the rest of your stuff?" "This is my stuff!" I replied. I had two cropped sensor cameras, a moderate telephoto, and a couple of compact zooms - not exactly the heavy artillery required for photographing howler monkeys high in the jungle canopy. And yet, I did OK. Tune in for the inside scoop on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
