Papua New Guinea Photo-Tour
for
Birds of Paradise and Bower Birds
Summer 2012
The Birds of Paradise and Bower Birds sport the most colorful and unique plumage on the planet, and their incredible mating displays are legendary. Our goal will be to locate and photograph a list of target species, and capture images of as many displaying species as possible. July is recognized as the month to see and photograph the highest number of displaying males of each species. I am currently in the early stages of co-planning a photo-safari to Papua New Guinea and northeast Australia, to photograph the Birds of Paradise, Bower Birds, and other birds and wildlife. Probable time frame is targeted for June/July 2012. We will be employing a company that specializes in Birding Tours, and will utilize a guide who has bird photography experience and has led bird photography tours. The trip will most likely start with 3 days in the Brisbane area of Queensland Australia, photographing many species of birds as well as some marsupials, and will then move to Papua New Guinea, where we will dedicate 17 days to photographing The Birds of Paradise and Bower Birds, along with many additional bird species and other wildlife. Photography will take place near the lodges and at adjacent gardens, as well as along rivers (from boats) and from photo-blinds which will be constructed and/or taken along. We will also photograph the colorful native people in full costume. If interested, please call or email for more details. Complete details (including costs) will be posted, as soon the itinerary is finalized. If you have questions, please email me at ty.smedes@smedesphoto.com or call 515-270-9086 !
