It had been several months since I’d been able to go to the Havana coastline to take photos of shorebirds; the last time I was there, there weren’t many—well, I think practically none—but things are different now. The migration of these birds from North America to the Caribbean has just begun, and the place was teeming with them. |
Llevaba varios meses sin poder ir a la zona del litoral habanero para hacer fotos de aves playeras; la última ocasión que allí estuve no había muchas, bueno, creo que prácticamente ninguna, pero ya la cosa es diferente, recién comienza la emigración de estas aves desde Norteamérica al Caribe y el lugar estaba lleno de ellas. |

|
I’ll tell you, nothing gets my adrenaline pumping more than this kind of photography, and when it comes to action shots, that’s when I really get into it. |
Les cuento que no hay cosa que me suba más la adrenalina al cuerpo que hacer este tipo de fotografía, y si de fotos al vuelo se trata, ahí sí me dan por la vena del gusto. |

|
I didn’t go alone—it’s not wise because of the risk of muggings, and that spot is pretty remote—but I was lucky to have some good friends come along with me. |
No fui solo, no es prudente por el tema de los asaltos y ese lugar está apartado, pero tuve la suerte de que me acompañaran buenos amigos. |

My focus was on the seagulls; they’re very dynamic and a real challenge. My camera is getting on in years and a bit slow to focus, but even so, I struggle to get the shot. |
El centro de mi atención fueron las gaviotas; son bien dinámicas y un reto. Mi equipo es ya entrado en años y un poco lento para enfocar, pero igual, ahí batallo para sacar la foto. |

|
As noon approached, we had to leave; the sun gets intense and there’s nowhere to take shelter, but we’re already planning to go back, possibly this weekend. |
Ya casi llegado el mediodía nos tuvimos que ir; el sol se pone intenso y no hay donde refugiarse, pero igual ya están planificando regresar posiblemente el fin de semana. |

|
That’s all I wanted to share with you today—I’m happy to have had this opportunity and to have had your company. I look forward to your comments. Hugs, and see you soon. |
Por hoy es lo que les quería compartir, feliz de tener esta oportunidad y por su compañía; espero sus comentarios, abrazos y hasta pronto. |
