Charles Bush Photography – November 2025 Newsletter

Introduction

As we roll into late fall here in Louisiana, I’m wrapping up the last of my 2025 tours, refining new Nikon Z8 articles, and continuing to build out resources to help you get the most out of your photography. Below you’ll find the final call for this year’s Fall Cypress Swamp Tour, spring updates, and a few guides you may want to bookmark.

🌅 Last Chance: Final 2025 Fall Cypress Swamp Tour

Cypress Tree with Rust Color in the Fall

This is the last Fall Cypress Swamp Photo Tour of the year, and it’s shaping up beautifully. Golden backlight, deep color, and still water are lining up perfectly.

Choose the option that fits your schedule:

  • 3‑Day Fall Cypress Tour

  • 6‑Day Fall Cypress Tour

Both offer:

  • Very small groups

  • Private boat access

  • Ideal light positioning and decades of local knowledge

👉 Reserve your Fall Tour spot — last chance for 2025.**

🐦 Spring 2026 Bird Photo Tours

Roseate Spoonbill in Cypress

Spring in Louisiana is the peak season for action-packed bird photography. Spoonbills, egrets, herons, and nesting behaviors make it one of the most productive times of the year.

For 2026, all Spring Tours are 3‑day sessions, designed for maximum photographic productivity.

Locations include:

  • Cazan Lake

  • Miller’s Lake

I’ve photographed Spoonbills here for 22 years, and every spring delivers consistent opportunities.

👉 Book your Spring 2026 Tour spot before the remaining seats fill.**

📘 New Nikon Z8 Articles & Resources

I’ve created a dedicated hub for all Nikon Z8 articles, tutorials, and setup guides. It’s the fastest way to find everything in one place, especially my deep-dive updates on firmware v3.

👉 Visit the Nikon Z8 Article Page

If you own the Z8, this is one to bookmark.

🌿 Spring Photo Subjects Guide

Spring in Louisiana offers a wider variety of bird species and behaviors than most visitors expect. I recently published a dedicated page covering the most common subjects we encounter across all three spring months.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Month-by-month subject expectations

  • Behavior opportunities

  • Recommended focal lengths

  • Sample images
