About Larry Ditto
Besides a HP computer that never sleeps, I use the following equipment in my photography pursuits:
- Canon 1D Mark IV, Canon 7D, and Canon 5D Mark II digital cameras
- 500mm IS, 300mm f4 IS, 100-400mm IS, 70-200mm 2.8 IS II, 24-105mm IS, and 16-35 mm Canon lenses
- Canon 580 EX and 550 EX flashes
- Gitzo 1348 and Feisol carbon fiber tripods
- Wimberly, Arca Swiss, and Feisol Monoball tripod mounts
- Canon extension tubes and teleconverters
- HP laptop computer and various portable hard drives.
I've been photographing nature subjects for over 40 years...full
time for 15 years. My focus has been in the south Texas area, but
I also photograph in several other states in the mid-west and west. I
just provided photos with Kathy Adams Clark for a new book from Far
Country Press titled "Texas, a Photographic Journey". Many of my images are in "Texas Wildlife Portfolio" and a lot of other books. I have photos published regularly in Texas Parks & Wildlife and Texas Highways magazines as well as Bird Watcher's Digest
and various other national periodicals and calendars. In 2000,
Greg Lasley and I won the prestigious Valley Land Fund Wildlife Photo
Contest.
After getting a BS degree in Wildlife Science from Texas A&M
University, I worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for 29
years as a Refuge Manager in the National Wildlife Refuge System.
My science background has given me a huge advantage in pursuing nature
photography and in leading seminars and workshops.
I lead several nature photography workshops
and instructional Photo tours
each year. When not shooting, I am judging various photography contests
or conducting lectures at various nature festivals across the state.
