Not surprised that Costa Rica contains 6% of the world’s biodiversity in just 0.03% of the earth’s land area
Shot on my new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 - much needed for this trip
#costarica #lafortuna #sloth #monkey #wildlifephotography
Been an adventure to say the least. Still remember the mix of joy, wonder, excitement, curiosity, and peace I felt in each of these moments like it was yesterday. Grateful for all 2025 brought and excited for what 2026 has in store.
Perfect playground for my new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8. Refined with Super Resolution. Don’t need a 600mm anymore these days…
